    Can you provide an example of a mechanism for FTL transmission of information without breaking one of the other two?

      Apart from inflation, which doesn't afaik let you get anywhere new FTL.

                    Well, it's called the theory of relativity and has been successfully tested many times at different levels, including accelerating massive objects to very near light speed (which is what we're discussing) with energies required following theoretical predictions up to experimental error.


                    You may argue that this is not proof, and while technically right, it is as "true" as anything can be in physical science and there is a lot more evidence for that than your ideas.

                    Maybe you can explain to us how your Theory of Invisible Fast Objects work, what testable predictions it makes that differ from accepted physics and we can check.
                    I'm aware of relativity.

                    If you are moving faster than light can travel, then you will be outside its boundries, thus it will appear invisible to us; because light must be touching the object in order for us to see it.

                    However, whether it becomes invisible or pure black, I'm not sure.

                      No you're not aware of relativity.

                        It's not clear to me why information transfer faster than light is not allowed by Lorentz/Einstein. Mass moving faster than light sure. But there's no "information" in E=mc^2.

                          There's two kinds of relativity.

                            Look more closely at the Lorentz transformation. If you can transmit image faster than light, you can send it back in time (by changing your frame of reference). Relativity breaks simultaneity.

                              Can't you use quantum computing to transfer data via electron spin, or something?

                                Quantum entanglement does not transmit information.
