The problem of the traveler traveling faster than light is always an interesting one, but it falls into the class of mental gymnastics.

An atomic explosion starting on the surface and propagating downward would hardly develop enough power to drive anything material much, if any, faster than light, and no explosion wave, however violent, can exceed that velocity.

It describes supermen who can become invisible, can travel faster than light, who can take themselves and their entire ship’s company on travels beyond our universe altogether, and after some sixty million years of adventures, arrive back the day before they started.

Imagine light falling into a savagely steep gravitational well. It won’t accelerate. Light can’t move faster than light. But it can gain in energy, in frequency.

Very likely their interstellar ships went faster than light.

Some of these authors assume there is some way of transmitting a signal faster than light—even instantaneously—over interstellar distances.

Give us a way to send our information faster than light.
