This may have nothing to do with Psy.
But then again it might.

One must be careful about the circumstances of the experiment, and the sensational headlines the press enjoys printing. Here's a slightly more detailed account of what that experiment does:
http://physicsweb.org/articles/world/13/9/3
The key here is that the NEC researchers sent a light pulse rather than single photons. A light pulse is A LOT of photons. They were measuring the peak of the pulse. Well, hell they shot this pulse into an energy-pumped medium and basically all it takes is the front edge of the pulse to cause a controlled avalanche in the medium. This pulse was way longer than the faster-than-light time savings giving the medium plenty of front-end information before the "fat" part of pulse actually struck the medium.
It's all still a bit of a macroscopic effect compared to single photons and relativity and all.

Nice follow-up. It's always refreshing to see smart people post on this forum.
Makes me almost want to get a life.
