Wouldn't there be a delay between the time you flicked your wrist and the time the spot actually aligns, due to the limited speed of light?

- doliveira 7y agoYeah, and observing this is a good way to see that information isn't actually being transferred faster than light.
- eru 7y agoYep, definitely. An outside observer that just sees the spot on the moon (but has no clue that it's produced by you flicking your wrists), just sees a spot that moves insanely fast. No information, energy nor matter travels faster than light here, of course.
