We're trying to play with very-low-energy, very-low-frequency,
very-long-wavelength photons.

You can emit or capture photons of any energy, frequency and wavelenth by
firing free electrons through magnetic fields but no-one listens to me.

"Firing" is hardly the word - dribble maybe.

You should use $3 words like 'bremsstrahlung' or 'cyclotron radiation'
in any case.

I just ran into Cherenkov radiation, which is a proper hair-raiser, it is.

Apparently when you go faster than the speed of light you glow blue.

(There's experiments to prove it.)

Just so long as you slow down to sub-light speed in the more refractive
medium by dumping energy you won't get a ticket. Fizix cops don't care
if you were speeding before just so long as they see the 'dust' fly
as you cross the border. Particles obey the law.

Oh cool! So when we develop ftl space drives, we'll all glow blue? Is it
permanent? So would we be able to perceive the blue glow ourselves, or would
it only be apparent to an observer?

Yeah, $3, ya dope.
