DUBLIN, Ireland (PNN) - May 18, 2-16 - Light is a fundamental avenue of study in physics, and its properties are well established with steadfast rules and invariable constraints. Until recently, we thought we knew just about everything there was to know about it.

In other words, light that does not obey the rules.
