I wonder how accurate their time measurements are. If nothing can exceed the speed of light, what makes them think they can rig together hardware that will accurately measure speed at that magnitude?

Light is not that fast. In the time it takes for a photon to travel between your computer screen and your eyes, modern CPUs will be able to execute many instructions.
