I don't want to sidetrack this discussion but could someone please give me a phonetic pronunciation of "João Magueijo"?

Imagine your being being completely made up of consciousness and "thought energy" is what propelled you throughout the universe.
You can then instantly appear anywhere at anytime. As long as your conscious mind is there, then you are. What prevents us from doing this in the physical world, is physical matter.
However, is human thought not faster then light? I can right now think of myself dancing around on the surface of pluto, and I did that within a split second, how fast does it take light to get to Pluto from earth? Yet my consciousness was there instantly.

Since light from very distant objects cannot reach us, there must be a certain horizon in the universe, like the event horizon of a black hole. And this horizon emits thermal radiation, similar to black holes, and they are now observed as small variation in the temperature of the cosmic background.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. When I imagine myself someone else, that's just what it is. IMAGINING! My brain can visualize and create/recreate images, sounds and feelings because of our memories that are triggered from chemical reactions within our brain. Nothing at all is traveling faster than light. I hate to say it folks but our brain is just a piece of meat. A thinking piece of meat but no less a piece of meat. And I have a feeling you're not using yours enough.
Hey, there's that guy who'll pay you a million bucksOriginally posted by Ploegman
To be honest, I have very special abilities ... however will only speak privatley with a person about them, not over the entire internet for millions of people to read.

But is "true thought" and thinking done through this "piece of meat" as you so amazingly put it? Or is there more to that?

I will leave it at that.
I don't understand how this is possible. I always believed that anything with mass could not travel at or over c. Isn't it true that its mass will increase to infinity when it reaches c? Mentat offered an explanation stating that it could be observed traveling >c using the redshift. I know what the redshift is, but how does that make it possible for something to travel >c?Posted By: marcus
Viper, you and I are receding at twice the speed of light from the people (if there are any) living in a certain galaxy which was observed only last year.
Wrong, as there are no photons at rest.Originally posted by physicskid Reply to tail: I'd give you a clue. A photon has a mass at rest that is zero. [/B]

Really now? That the experiment in Cologne, headed by Nimtz encoded Mozarts 40th symphony onto photons and produced the signal that travelledat nearly 5c. 4.7c to be precise
Here are all the Faster Than Light experiments to date including the mentioned:
