the information thats transmitted is actualy a shock wave travelling at some sub-light speed through the material. Essentially correct. It sounds suspiciously like spinning a torch round the inside of a large enough sphere to get a spot of light moving at faster than light speeds on the wall of the sphere.Something to do with the difference between a signal and information. Yeah, that happens. Spinning pulsars emit beams that interact with interstellar material at greater that light speed. But no signal or information is actually transmitted at > c. It's just basic trig. |

| very off topic puzzler faster than light signals? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| suspicious? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| yeah i thought that it would be speed of sound | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Kind of like ... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| oh yes and that's not even quanto-relativistic... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| It is information ... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
could see the other end move without light. | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
