That was me Geoff, in response to Martin's post directed at me in the general Forum. It was meant in the context that if I was going to explain something, I don't have to necessarily keep it in one forum exclusively, if I thought that what was said (in this case, a station promo) was in error Which in fact it is. The problem with many science shows is that they tend to push what has been "accepted fact" like the statement "nothing can travel faster than the speed of light", when in fact, they're not facts. They're "throw away" lines that have been used to simplify the teaching of the subjects concerned.
Martin got hot under the collar because I happened to question the statement and he thought it was directed at himself, personally. It wasn't. All I said is that which physical law strictly forbade travelling faster than light. There isn't any. No reflection on his own knowledge, but on the accuracy of what was being broadcast by the show.
