You are assuming that time actually behaves the way Einstein though it might if particles exceeded c. It may not.

Maybe this will be of interest : re superluminary velocity of gravitational effect. http://www.metaresearch.org/cosmolog...of_gravity.asp where the Speed of Gravity is ³ 2x10power10 c (ie 20 billion x c) , for all intents and human purposes , that makes the speed of gravity essentially infinite. See Physics Letters A 250:1-11 (1998).

Quote:
direct experimental verification in the laboratory that gravity propagates faster than light may now be possible. The protocol and preliminary results were reported in (Walker, 1997).

If this true , that's an extraordinary property.

Sorry if the maths is a bit heavy , requiring at least a knowledge of vector calculus and electromagnetism and relativity (2nd and 3rd year uni undergraduate level studies), but well, the proof is in the physics and maths involved in the meta-analysis.
