Well, there's this: "the phase velocity and group velocity of a wave may 
exceed the speed of light, but in such cases, no energy or information 
actually travels faster than c."

but I don't pretend to understand what they mean.  If no energy or 
information traveled faster than light, what did, and how could they 
tell?  Alberto's analogy was just a trick of the eye, is that what this is?
