I do so hope that the idea that some things really can go faster than the speed of light is true.
It will just make everything so interesting – not least hearing scientists struggling to take it on board & defend their craft against those who say ‘Well, if you were wrong about that why should we believe anything you say?’
Dangerous too, of course. We have enough political & economic problems right now that are caused, in part at least, by lack of, or loss of, confidence in experts.
I remember Melvyn Bragg suddenly asking his physicist guests, right at the end of one of his In Our Time programmes, to suppose that the ‘nothing can go faster’ claim turned out to be untrue. As the programme faded I distinctly heard Jocelyn Burnell say that communication between twins at a distance could be one real possibility.
