Crucially, the object inside the bubble never actually goes faster than the speed of light.

The explosive sound that is normally associated with a sonic boom occurs when an object goes faster than the speed of sound.

Building most real, physical things is hard — but building a passenger plane that goes faster than any before it, including the ill-fated Concorde?

A big reason airplanes haven't gotten faster is that things get tricky when a plane goes faster than the speed of sound — around 20203 miles per hour.

This new mode modifies other driver settings, like limiting the maximum speed to 85 mph and popping up a speed warning if the young driver goes faster than 40 to 75 mph.

But the game also lets players unleash their devious side, and on that note I'd like to introduce a roller coaster that somehow goes faster than the max speed normally allowed in the game and hits the highest possible "intensity" score—it's called the Big Scary Motherfucker.

Buzzy music comes and goes faster than ever, but Hynes is someone who it's already easy to imagine as a vastly influential, enduring star several decades into the future, the kind of guy who is going to quietly but steadily amass hits for a long time to come.

The reason I joined is because there is a brilliant person called Josh Giegel who is the engineer the genius behind it who got 200 engineers together and they have created something completely unique something that goes faster than anybody else, something that we believe will be a lot safer than anybody else and they are way ahead of anybody else.

The project has a cute name (the Boring Company), a wacky way of raising money (an "Initial Hat Offering" raised almost $1m by selling baseball caps), a physicist-knows-best approach to a social problem (putting private cars on high-speed underground trolleys to reduce urban congestion) and a quirky, memorable goal (to produce a tunnelling machine that goes faster than a snail, in this case a snail called Gary).

Sheppard never answered to Ronon. However, it was later revealed that Sheppard has an ex-wife named Nancy (Kari Wührer). He is in possession of a rather wry sense of humor, and frequently alleviates tension by telling jokes to keep spirits up - much to the annoyance of McKay. He hates clowns, enjoys Ferris wheels, American football and 'anything that goes faster than 200 miles an hour', along with displaying a vague aptitude for Chess - beating McKay on at least one occasion, once again to McKay's chagrin.

A 'dial-in' is a time the driver estimates it will take his or her car to cross the finish line, and is generally displayed on one or more windows so the starter can adjust the starting lights on the tree accordingly. The slower car will then get a head start equal to the difference in the two dial-ins, so if both cars perform perfectly, they would cross the finish line dead even. If either car goes faster than its dial-in (called breaking out), it is disqualified regardless of who has the lower elapsed time; if both cars break out, the one who breaks out by the smallest amount wins. However, if a driver had jump-started (red light) or crossed a boundary line, both violations override any break out (except in some classes with an absolute break out rule such as Junior classes).
