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.
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?
What he was saying is you could go very close to the speed of light, and throw a baseball really hard(meaning it would continue traveling at your speed+however fast you threw it) making it go at the speed of light or faster.
The speed of light isn't relative to anything. It's concrete. It's the speed of light.
But doesn't light always travel 300,000 m/s (approx. of course) relative to you, no matter what velocity you may be traveling at? Don't know if that's right, just thought I heard that somewhere.
