mcgrew writes to mention New Scientist is reporting that scientists have clocked matter traveling at 99.999% the speed of light.

When a massive star runs out of fuel, it collapses to form a black hole or a neutron star. In the process, some of the matter from the star also explodes outward at blistering speeds, producing an intense burst of gamma rays and other radiation."
