For those of you who don't know this:
 

 
Light bends, they figured out how to make an material so that light doesn't bend. 
 
Why is this helpful? And how does this help with quantum computing, etc? Well here's a really simplified explanation:
It allows the photons to not lose any energy while traveling through the material, which also means that we can send photons that are 'in phase' with each other on a small scale, similar to what an laser does (all the light is more or less in phase). The best part is that they figured out how to keep the light wave/photon in 1 plane (let's say 'z'), which means we can use tools such as waveguides (channels that direct the light) and not lose any energy guiding the light through a path. This is useful for when we decide to use light interconnects instead of electrons on CPUs to move data around.
 
There's also an use for this in quantum entanglement. Normally waves have an peak and a trough, with this, we can force an photon/light wave to constantly be at either a peak or trough. (think straight line vs sinusoidal wave (as a function of time). With that also means that the phase (or clock) of the wave approaches infinity. Where phase means a small portion of the cycle has moved from the starting position. This doesn't mean that it's traveling faster than the speed of light though! It's merely a property that we measure/define waves by. 
 
Disclaimer: This is coming from an mechanical engineer and my interpretation of the article. Someone who deals with modern/quantum physics on this forum could probably do a better job at explaining it than I did (and could probably go into more detail).

For people who do not understand, basically its just good news for quantum computing (And other applications that somewhat apply to computers).

I didn't even know it was rough 

TL:DR  They figured out how to smooth light.

Why is it socially unacceptable to say you use a VPN?
You should be proud of it. Other people should envy you.
 
So much BS.
 
EDIT: The fact that we have to use a VPN in the first place to either protect ourselves or to access content that other people have access to is unacceptable.

While Einstein’s theories of space and time place the speed of light as a universal speed limit of matter travelling through space a theory by Miguel Alcubierre  got around this by proposing to instead warp space in front of and behind the space craft. The Alcubierre drive would effectively allow a ship to travel faster than the speed of light. The limitation being that an absurdly large amount of energy would be needed to power the drive.
 

 
The theory was then built upon by Dr Harold White who works as team lead of the Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratory (informally known as Eagleworks) at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre. Dr White’s alterations made the drive more energy efficient and therefore feasible.
 
As a separate project at Eagleworks and other labs around the world a new type of propulsion is being researched the EmDrive proposed by British engineer Roger Shawyer.
 
A post on NASASpaceFlight.com (a forum that is focused on the engineering side of NASA projects) says that when the path-time of light (how fast it is travelling over a distance) was measured through the EmDrive’s resonance chamber there were significant variances in the speed and most importantly some of the beams appeared to travel faster than the speed of light. This could mean that the drive is producing a warp field or bubble. A comment on NASASpaceFlight.com said  That’s the big surprise. This signature (the interference pattern) on the EmDrive looks just like what a warp bubble looks like. And the math behind the warp bubble apparently matches the interference pattern found in the EmDrive.
 

 
 
The next step is to redo the test in a vacuum to be 100% sure that the apparent warping of space is not due to the temperature of the air. Though Dr White’s preliminary assessments lead him to believe that
 

 
Even if the EmDrive is producing a warp bubble an actual operating warp drive that could be used to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations and to boldly go where no man has gone before is a long way off.

While Einstein’s theories of space and time place the speed of light as a universal speed limit of matter travelling through space a theory by Miguel Alcubierre  got around this by proposing to instead warp space in front of and behind the space craft. The Alcubierre drive would effectively allow a ship to travel faster than the speed of light. The limitation being that an absurdly large amount of energy would be needed to power the drive.
 

 
The theory was then built upon by Dr Harold White who works as team lead of the Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratory (informally known as Eagleworks) at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre. Dr White’s alterations made the drive more energy efficient and therefore feasible.
 
As a separate project at Eagleworks and other labs around the world a new type of propulsion is being researched the EmDrive proposed by British engineer Roger Shawyer.
 
A post on NASASpaceFlight.com (a forum that is focused on the engineering side of NASA projects) says that when the path-time of light (how fast it is travelling over a distance) was measured through the EmDrive’s resonance chamber there were significant variances in the speed and most importantly some of the beams appeared to travel faster than the speed of light. This could mean that the drive is producing a warp field or bubble. A comment on NASASpaceFlight.com said  That’s the big surprise. This signature (the interference pattern) on the EmDrive looks just like what a warp bubble looks like. And the math behind the warp bubble apparently matches the interference pattern found in the EmDrive.
 

 
 
The next step is to redo the test in a vacuum to be 100% sure that the apparent warping of space is not due to the temperature of the air. Though Dr White’s preliminary assessments lead him to believe that
 

 
Even if the EmDrive is producing a warp bubble an actual operating warp drive that could be used to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations and to boldly go where no man has gone before is a long way off.
 
Please note that while I have done a lot of reading on the topics discussed in this post I do not hold a PHD in physics or maths so if there are any errors I am sorry.
