Question: Faster Than Light?
Ok, so I've just recently rediscovered something I haven't though about for a long time, (if ever), and been proven wrong in the process !
There are phenomena which regularly exceed the speed of light:
i) The phase velocity of electromagnetic signals;
ii) The rotation velocity of a light source (say a laser light in a lighthouse), projected onto a 'screen' at large distance (say, the shoreline): when the sweep velocity is measured by two points on the shoreline, it regularly exceeds 'c';
iii) Communication between entangled quantum particles.
It would also seem that no information is exchanged in any of the above examples.
Does anyone else find this surprising … or is it just me ?
Cheers
