java faster than C

I found this article extremely interesting, I myself used to believe that jave could at best be equal to C in terms of speed and not faster, but apparently I was wrong.

I hope this clears some of the mythsand starts an interesting discussion !!!

Some people think of C as a physical constant: nothing can go faster than C, the speed of light, nothing can run faster than C, too. LOL...

> Some people think of C as a physical constant:> nothing can go faster than C, > the speed of light, nothing can run faster than C,Correction: Nothing can go c. Tachyons (I think) cannot go slower than c.It's only c itself that's verboten though.

How about "nothing that can go slower than c can go as fast as c, or nothing with mass can go as fast as c".Then my C bon mot loses its zing. Can anyone fix it?
