Here is another section from Wikipedia that seems to argue against the conclusion of the earlier-mentioned experiment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light#Apparent_FTL_propagation_of_static_field_effects This same page gives examples of some rates that are observed that are faster than light, including closing speeds (the rate at which two bodies close in on one another) and phase and group velocities. The propagation of an electrostatic field along an entrainment of charged particles gives more the sense of the propagation of a phase or group than of a particle itself, whose velocity is limited by *c.* Eric
