Thank you Bojan, some of it made sense.

The similar thing applies to laser beams and antennas in general: In close range, intensity of the radiated beam follows different rules (sometimes 1/r)..
(......lost the knowledge part from here...:{)

So from the above quote; the inverse laws dont work at more than around one AU . Scaled down, as in your quote ( radiated beam), we cant confirm a FTL phase velocity unless the test bed is HUGE..... Am I thinking right there?

I am trying to grasp all of this, so excuse my ignorance, BUT I find this really interesting.

BTW I never 'elized' your 10" Dob!!!!!
