Well, there is only one thing faster than the speed of light that I know of.
And that is Thought... Your thoughts can travel faster than the speed of light.
Don't believe me?
Consider this.
The light from the moon takes the speed of light to get here.
So let's say it takes 2 minutes to reach the earth.
When you think of the moon it takes only takes 0.00000001 sec to think about it.
Since the picture of the moon is already in your head.
Your thought about it takes milli seconds.
And since thoughts are things.
Your thoughts travel faster than the speed of light.
The experiment between two atoms was a clear case for this.
The story goes two particles were separated.
When one was agitated or moved.
The other particle also corresponded.
How was this possible? If the two were separated with such a large distance?
Entanglement was what transpired.
With out thoughts, we create our world.
This is how the ancients new about other planets long before telescopes were invented.
They went out of there minds and travelled in thought. To the outer rims of the know galaxy.
Only in our minds can we do this.
Another amazing thing about light.
It is the only thing that can be split into colors.
Go look at a rainbow to see this.
When you paint.
Mixing colors gives you a palete.
But mixing light colors.
Can give you the color white.
And vice a versa.
I may have to recheck that to see if that is accurate.
But I think it is.

Very interesting point of view Thomas :)
But is it really a like for like comparison ? I mean the light from the Moon takes a little over 1 Second to get here
But what if I think about a Photo from the Hubble Telescope ? It maybe 25,000 Light Years away........ Is it fair to say I thought of it faster than light cud get there/or from it ?
Im not sure, but very intresting concept mate :thumbsup:

Ok, lets say you go to google and do a search for Hubble images.
And you get something like this.
(link:://:.astronomy-pictures.net/orion-nebula-hubble.jpg)
Now, that image may have taken 25,000 years to get to the Hubble.
However... Now that you have that image in your head.
How long does it take to think about it?
What if you picked a spot on that image and said.
Imagine if I was there now.
How long will it take your thoughts to get there?
In an instant... is the answer.
I recall seeing Shirley McClain "Out On a Limb"
OOBE - "Out On a Limb" - 1987 (link:://:.youtube.com/watch?v=UjBbLGvnl3E#)
Nassim had a similar experience.
Many people have.
So this is not an isolated experience.
WoW !
I would love to experience that :thumbsup:

Cerenkov Radiation also travels faster than the speed of light. :)

Amazing...
