Negative Time / Superluminal Light

The phenomenon where light appears to exit a medium before it enters, calculated as 'negative time,' attributed to changing the refractive index via resonant pulses.

Negative Time as Refractive Index Engineering

The phenomenon of 'negative time' observed in laser-atom experiments is not time travel but the result of altering the medium's refractive index and permittivity via resonance, allowing light to effectively travel faster than c locally.
