If you enjoy that article, read the article on Čerenkov radiation. That one always intrigues me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%8Cerenkov_radiationHere's a snippet:
Čerenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through an insulator at a speed greater than the speed of light in that medium.
And no, this is not science fiction. It actually happens.
