Of course even if you cant travel faster than light... you can kind of cheat and get around and beat it on the technicality of distance traveled/time taken > :p

Ah well a pretty nasty looking storm is rolling in so i think ill avoid frying my machine... i'll have some time to simmer over this.

well its not sound..not antimatter, not anything I would ever normally think of....well hmm does it involve explosions? gas? waves? rays? help me out here am I getting warm?

there are many things that can be defined by speed in our reality. i'd have to do some research to find some answers, but im just to tired now heh. in order to go faster than the speed of light it seems that the object would have no mass at all to begin with. however if you are looking for everyday examples the object would seem to have mass. its unlikely anything people see/deal with every day has no mass. i never took any theoretical or advanced physics classes beyond the basics required to graduate so this is a mind twister hehe.a few silly questions. i once read where photons of light were actually slowed down from the normal speed. depending on the substance they travelled threw, so the speed of light is actually a variable making it slightly harder to answer the question. do you mean the standard everyday speed of light through the vacuum of space?
electric wiring? gas? um some wierd element I don't know? signals? flashes? explosions? brainwaves? vaccume?
So ok then how about the speed of one electrical current travelling to its destination?

Your first statement is not true. Objects with no static mass CANNOT go FASTER than speed of light itself. Objects with no mass are photons.Yes, speed o of light is greates it vacuum and in non-vacuum space, it is slower. But this doesnt matter in relation to my question.it partially does relate to ur question. u ask what can be faster than the speed of light? well the speed of light is not a constant. u have to define it as such before the question can actually be answered. i know its symantecs, but im trying to narrow down the field a bit. the fact that light speed is variable states that light can be faster than itself when travelling through different substances.
