The barrier of light speed is a human thing. Infinite speed doesn`t mean time travel.
We are humans. Also arrogants by the absurdities that our "human science" claims, but we are bounded to our senses and the perceptions that come from them. Also we are bounded by the things we "believe" that makes the universe, bottom up.

We "see", directly (visible light) or indirectly (the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum) things that are "painted" by EM waves, wich moves at a limit of 0.33 nanoseconds/meter.

Our eyes, and our EM based measurement equipment, are used to see or register events that carry information at not more than 0.33 ns/meter.

Between 1850 and 1905, we "humans" started to postulate that nothing could move faster than light and, later, that only photons (EM occurrences) could travel at such speed in vacuum.

So, to "prevent" that such a thing could be registered by us, humans", we postulated (as a principle, really) that "c" was the upper limit. Two persons, between 1894 and 1904, designed and perfected a group of transforms (Lorentz, Poincarè) that prevented events at higher speed. They created the post-Galilean relativity, from wich Einstein profited greatly, specially thanks to his former teacher Minkowski and his space-time 4D tensor, wich embedded "ct" as a fourth dimension, a temporal one. And then, massive indoctrination happened for 110 years, with their consequences.

But, as humans, we only perceive things through EM waves, directly or indirectly. If we watch a movement of a person, 100 meters far away, we perceive it because we use light reflection. Visible light illuminate that person, and his/her movements are perceived by us 33.3333... nanoseconds after.

So, no law of physics is violated. But IF we had another sense that could SEE ANOTHER type of radiation (undiscovered yet) that makes 0.1 nanoseconds/meter, we would perceive the motion 100 meters far away only 10 nanoseconds after.

As if, by any chance, instantaneous speed of this undetectable energy happens, we would see the motion of this person 0.000 nanoseconds after his move.

Now, suppose that alien beings, with senses very different from ours, come to earth and use "xadron" instead of light, being the speed of such "xadron" beams 100 times the speed of light.

When they paint us with their "xadron" beams and collect their information, 200 meters would have been used for this "visualization", and they would perceive our motion just 0.666... nanoseconds after we moved.

In no time, supraluminal speed means time travelling.

Even with infinite speed, the "visualization" of our motion would be instantaneous. At no case they would observe our motion BEFORE we start to make it.

Finally, probably those aliens have their own theory of relativity, with "xadron" speed as an upper limit.

Then, if there is something else that EM Waves to "observe" things, CAN YOU SWEAR that such a thing doesn't exist, just because we CAN'T PERCEIVE nor UNDERSTAND IT?

Maybe a cat can perceive things with speed faster than light. Can you prove that I'm wrong?

If not a cat, any other specie of the wide offering of 8 million living species at Earth right now, 9000 of them being mammals.

This thread is just food for thoughts.

Re: The barrier of light speed is a human thing. Infinite speed doesn`t mean time travel.
Very interesting OP.

We have an extremely limited perception of the Universe. Afterall, like you say we only see a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum with our sight. We can not even visualize quarks, nor have any idea what the universe looks like from the outside. We have used mathematics to deduce certain physical laws pertaining to our observations of the local universe... but If you imagine a telescope and microscope of infinite zoom, our level of magnification limits us to what we can really see rather considerably.

Our place is small, whether we analyze the limit in EM visualization, our view of the microscopic/macroscopic universe, even our mathematical knowledge can become quite limited by our restriction to 4-dimensional space when we can theoretically account for many more dimensions in string theory. When we imagine multidimensional reality, then we may conclude that mathematics could very well be different when used and viewed in many more dimensions. Aliens may use very different tools to analyze the universe also...

We must remain very open-minded and realize the truth of reality which is the fact that we know very, very, very little about anything and that's actually wonderful because it would be a boring world if we knew everything :)

This is very true, but against the tides of adversity and during some very dark moments in human history, there have been pioneers who have defied the odds and broken the mold whether we think about Galileo, Aristotle, Columbus, Magellan etc. And whether we think about these pioneers in medicine, science, explorative geography, and lately in astronomy - despite many setbacks, our civilization has evolved and made many advances which could allow us to take a leap into the cosmos.

I don't see nobody with enough momentum, right now, to lead such a movement.

But, if by chance, a violation of RT like supraluminal speeds reaches MSM, it would a start. Yet. so much money and people involved!

I searched, a while ago, why "c" is the upper limit. At Quora, the question:

What's the fundamental reason why the speed of light cannot be broken? Why does the universe want to preserve the upper barrier on speed of light so much so that it readily slows down time rather than see the speed barrier broken?

has more than 100 answers. Every single one quotes Einstein, one way or another (through Maxwell, for instance). No variations at any answer. Sad!

Infinite velocity when combined with infinite angular diversity imposed upon the one infinitesimal Singularity establishes the spatial dimension of width.

The "wake' left behind of that establishes the infinite expanse, the spatial dimension of height.

The one infinitesimal Singularity is the spatial dimension of depth.

Re: The barrier of light speed is a human thing. Infinite speed doesn`t mean time travel.
Maybe Gravity travels faster than light speed. Perhaps if could have a gravity lens then might be able to produce a picture of objects by the gravity they exert (even though very small).

Google image search of "crop circle antenna" shows a crop circle that possibly depicts a gravity lens cross sectional diagram.

Another search "In 2001 Aliens Answered To NASA Message?". Shows same crop circle at bottom of picture, corresponding to positon of a satellite DISH in a message Nasa sent in to space. This indicates that it is able to communicate, perhaps the mechanism is gravity.

If you search for "jln telos toroidal coil", you will find a french guy's website where he has been able to use 2 toroidal coils to wirelessly propel a piece of metal. Other people on internet have managed to twist laser beams going through centre of toroidal coils.

Perhaps the very low gravity effect (can bend a laser) could be magnified by having multiple stages (many additional coils). Perhaps another way might be to use a spinning toroid of mercury, the idea being that the toroidal coils induce a current in the mercury, this current can then be made to take a path through the mercury matching the path that would exist in a toroidal coil by spinng this mercury toroid and thus in itself creates the same effect as a toroidal coil, where the energy of the effect comes from the spinning, thus converting rotational energy into linear thrust and magification of effects from primary toroidal coils.

So this crop circle, perhaps the two shades represent presents of mercury or non present, with the design progressively magnifying the gravitational effects between stages(coils) so that can create a gravity lens.

Could be used as a gravity lens or as an antigravity engine.

Maybe a 1m diameter device might be able to reach out a far distance to pull in light, meaning a 1m device becomes an effective 100m diameter dish.

If gravity travels 1 billion times faster than light, then this would open up the possibility of communicating with others in other star systems in real time. And perhaps being able to travel toother star systems in only minutes, by moving space so that the space craft does not really move.

The rate of induction for light has a speed based upon the permeability and permitivity of the medium.

C = 1/(sqrt(Mu_zero x Epsilon_zero)).

That comes from Maxwell.

But the idea that C is some kind of speed limit for the entire universe is the product of a confused mind.

We even don't know the transients at the beggining of an EM Wave irradiated from an antena.

What if an Electrical Wave is the only thing that happens at the first wavelength, and this start the self-sustaining EM wave from the second wavelength?

And what if this electrical wave flows at supraluminal speed over the electrical FIELD around the antenna during the first wavelength?

Do you think that mainstream science is interested in ruining a 400 billion dollar "industry" easily earned with the suckers that sucumb to "modern" physics at ten of thousands of colleges around the world, books, documentaries, movies, etc.?

I agree completely with your last paragraph.

When we have seen photos of 15,000 years light of plasma (current plus magnetism) that makes a bridge between a galaxy and his "daughter" smaller galaxy, and we know that current involved reaches 20000 trillions of amperes along the path, I'm shure that Faraday and Maxwell don't apply there.

Not that we know!

I been wondering why people don't make a fuzz about the use of permitivitty and permeability values used at Maxwell's equations.

Why? Because they are static scalar values, calculated from matter at rest into a lab table.

Did you know that both parameters are actually complex numbers, wich vary with frequency?

Even before the sound barrier issue, it was the maximal value of the speed of a car, by 1910 (or around). There was a conviction (maybe with mathematical constructs) that speeds above 50 Km/Hr were deadly for a vehicle without reels to sustain their movements, like with trains.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75568894


Sorry, I missed this part! Another mistake of mine.

That is a really tough question!

What would it take?

From my point of view, it only can be possible in one way:

- If there is a future already constructed and, by any
reason, we are living behind it, in time, the answer
is YES.

It doesn't mean predestination, IHMO. Only that we
are lagging behind this future (near) because of
some kind of perceptual inertia based on: THE LIMIT
OF THE SPEED OF LIGHT! LOL!

- What if things happens FASTER than our perception,
wich is based on EM waves manifestations and effects?

- When we reach that time (distance sensitive), then we
live that moment. But ALREADY happened.

- This seems to be a contradiction with my prior thoughts.
But I was thinking about travelling BACK in time.

- This line of tought opens a theoretical possibility
that we might travel in time, but only FORWARD.

Remember the movie with Nicolas Cage, at wich he had a "two minutes window" to watch the future? This kind of things.

Re: The barrier of light speed is a human thing. Infinite speed doesn`t mean time travel.
Particles (matter: atomic and subatomic level, molecular level, etc.), plasma (as fourth state of matter) and a wideband spectrum of EM Waves (energy) is all we know about this world.

Graviton (a theoretically postulated particle, that is a boson in the Standard Model) is another manifestation of force, besides strong and weak forces.

But we can think of a world with them, either we can perceive them, directly or not, or postulate them.

So, since this Standard Model for Elementary Particles is assumed as complete for the last decade, where are we going from this point. Do we stop here, with the Higss Boson?

A whole generation of mainstream physicists are happy with this. With the exception of alt-scientists (antagonist) and a few that searches new paths for evolution of physics (electric universe) are we stuck?

So, the next 50 or 100 years are to profit from the current architecture of physics through engineering?

I don't think so.

Disruptive thought or elaboration is an occurrence that happens once in a while, and is tipically based on ONE PERSON. It takes to think: WHAT IF, plus work and genius.

Tesla was disruptive.
Planck was disruptive (even when he didn't knew by then)
The swedish architect of the iPhone was disruptive.
The two creators of Twitter were disruptive.
Kilby (IC inventor) was disruptive.
Gary Kildall (CP/M) was disruptive.
Tim Berners-Lee (next Nobel Prize) was disruptive (WWW).

Watch those awarded with Nobel prizes that came with tangible inventions (at the Nobel institute) and will find
a bunch of others, even when were pro-stablishment (or would not have had their Nobel prize).

So, even when science is requiring now multi billion dollars to get machinery for new developments, the next breakthrough still can came from a single guy in a garage, with the seed of geniuses into him.

He will look "reality" and will say something like: but this is how everyone else is doing things. What if...?

And a new line of thoughts is created.

Indoctrination blind people, because of conviction or lack of courage to confront. But some people do. I believe in that.

Not everything is rotten at the Farce of Science and not everyone is willing to sucumb under the growing power of mathematics replacing philosophy and logical thinking.
