Most physicists believe that faster-than-light particles cannot exist because they are not consistent with the known laws of physics. Found it all out myself when reading Wikipedia

You've also got to watch out for nintendos, they pass through anything.

Not so! Special relativity only says you cannot accelerate to >= c. Special relativity also implies that if you want ftl and consistency, you must choose between special relativity and causality.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Can you rephrase that for us laymen? I assume >=c means nothing can accelerate faster than light, But what is ftl and consistency. Maybe I should read up on special relativity before venturing into this thread.Originally posted by Lorizael View PostComment

I wrote a post about this 2 years ago. Most of the explanation comes in the form of pictures.Originally posted by Berzerker View Post
There's a saying about this. Pick two: special relativity, FTL, or causality.
As we've just seen, special relativity + FTL means you lose a coherent narrative leading from the past to the future. You can preserve causality with FTL but only if you abandon the rules of special relativity. Or you can live in the universe we seem to inhabit, which has relativity and causality but loses all that FTL fun.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.
