Yeah but physical objects also can't move faster than the speed of light so in any scenario where that's possible we've obviously either found a workaround or we were fundamentally wrong about some part of physics.

Maybe we have access to wormholes and we can just send radio waves through the wormholes Stargate style.

problem with wormholes is that you can send information into the past - so if you receive a message, does that mean you're predetermined to subsequently send that message?

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

well, any going faster than light will have to utilize the bending of space-time, if it ever happens and the wormhole thing has even more problems
