Of course you are right. It is not the point though.

For example, if you have a 1 meter bar that you move 1 cm in 1 second, you've traveled information 1 meter away in 1 second, while the bar only moved 1 centimeter in that second. Information thus traveled 100 times faster than the atoms.

you guys could probably just try researching the subject quickly instead of arguing stupidly about it:

this was mentioned many posts ago, then the question about a perfect solid came, like a bar made out of neutrons with 0% compressibility

hahahahah, I am your car. great work Raguna and Jason

Ok this is pretty simple. Whats the fastest way to travel between two points... a straight line? Wrong. It's zero. You use intense gravitational waves to fold space and time on top of itself, so the 2 points overlap at the same point. Then you just thread the needle baby.

god damnit quit fucking arguing physics in the ROFL thread
