Faster than light particle?

10/20/2006 7:27 PM

Einstein said that information could not travel faster than the speed of light.Anything faster could not be detected.(Although some recent experiments in laser "tunnelling" are challenging that aspect of his theroy)

Perhaps the whole universe is really only 1 particle traveling faster than light.

It would appear to be everywhere and everything at once.We could all be time-sharing the same particle.

Scientists have yet to find any "Solid" matter. All they find are force fields.

As the Monk said to the the hot dog vendor: "Make me one with everything."

Perhaps we are.

I respond:

This didn't appear in the link you provided anywhere. So you started with something semiplausible (but ultimately false, since group velocity, information, etc. doesn't exceed light) and then you take it in an unrelated direction.

Just because you can imagine it doesn't make it a theory.

You will notice the topic ends with a question mark? I stated that some recent experiments "Challenged" , not disproved Einstein's theory.

I did not claim that my speculation was a theroy, just a free wheeling "Perhaps....." just to elicit some imaginative thinking by others.I would still like to have other's thoughts on how we could prove or disprove such a scenario, since by definiton it is beyond our means to detect.
