I *KNOW* one of the fundamentals of the scientific method is that you do not go around adding theories when you HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THEM!! How much evidence is there for FTL ? NONE !!! ZILCH !!! ZERO !!! The only experimental evidence for FTL communication (by Aspect) is very adequetely (and embarrassingly) explained by Quantum Mechanics. (At least, that is what the people with the BACKGROUND to understand the EXPERIMENT say...) And if you don't have any experimental evidence to back up your theory, then all you're generating is a means of travel through the air. Enough hot air to fill a balloon. ave discordia going bump in the night ... bruce giles decvax!ucf-cs!giles university of central florida giles.ucf-cs@Rand-Relay orlando, florida 32816
