Faster Than Light

Impossible.

What type of information, and by what means?

If Adrenachrome is talking about the same guy as I think he is, it was a symphony (Beethoven I believe).

I was just thinking. Maybe it's impossible, because mayve you just cant go past light speed. Maybe it would cause you to "go back in time" as to go back to the speed just before light speed... as in, you just oculdnt break light speed. I have no backing for anything i say, I'm just shooting out ideas.

I meant what type of information as in... electricity, vibrations, etc?

The place where I first read about it is here: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physic...Light/FTL.html

It doesn't really say, and I don't understand some of what they're talking about anyway. Whatever I tell you about the experiment would be my interpretation of that site, and a couple of others, so I guess it's best you look yourself, because I would probably garble some stuff up. It's under section 11 if you want to see. Not much on it, so you can see my knowledge of the experiment is quite limited, and probably distorted.

Last paragraph:

The likely conclusion is that there is no real FTL communication taking place and that the effect is another manifestation of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

I understand that. I wasn't implying that I think it's possible, just pointing you to what (I think) Adrena was talking about.

I'm a little confused on the baseball example. I know just about nothing about relativity, but doesn't light always move at the same velocity relative to you no matter what speed you're going? So if you're going .99999C, wouldn't light still appear to you to be going 300,000 KM/S relative to you? Then how would a baseball reach that speed if you through it at 90 MPH? God, I understand nothing about this. Could anyone point me to a site that explains this stuff that I might be able to comprehend?

It looked like some sort of green light.. laser thing...
(I know the issue is to make matter move faster than light but htis is a start eh?)
