Always neat

faster than the speed of light

This is probably a phrasing mismatch

My guess is they meant that If assuming a photon already travels at the speed of light, given that it’s inside a radiation and magnetic field accelerating it, it technically goes faster than the speed of light, relative to us and sensors observing it, which might explains the color change.

The LHC does the same with protons and heavy ions (with a massive magnetic field), but we can’t see it since it’s inside a vacuum loop.

faster than the speed of light in a medium != faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Is "faster than light" better?

Nothing is faster than light in a vacuum; this isn't a vacuum more caveats are needed

I thought the title made that clear. Faster than light travels in the water.

Only if they made a field that warped space around the particles, and that field moved through space faster than light with the particle in it.
