My remembrance of the theory of relativity is pretty dim but I think the point is that the speed of light IS infinite speed in the sense that the whole theory depends on nothing being able to travel faster than light. That's why this CERN thing is such an amazing discovery, at least if it's proved to be correct.
I seem to remember that there has always been a mystery surrounding the fact that certain subatomic particles appear to "know" what others are doing instantaneously, meaning the knowledge is transferred faster than the speed of light. It's almost as fascinating as trying to figure out how LC globals work ;-) Pete Molly's Revenge <http://www.mollysrevenge.com> On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 9:37 AM, Bob Sneidar <[email protected]> wrote: > WARNING: The following contains a Biblical reference in relation to time > and space, so delete now if you will be offended. > > I think the idea is that the faster something goes the more space time > compresses.
