I remember recently news that scientists had done weird things like slow light to a near stop, and transmit it from one place to another, but when I tried to understand what all that meant my head rapidly 'asploded. This article does a better job of explaining what's going on and what it means. First time through, I still felt my head crack a bit. Second time, I think I got it. Since you're all much smarter than we are, I'm sure you won't have any trouble at all.
