As others have commented, you can’t send information faster than light. This is because time itself doesn’t run off any kind of central clock. The relationship between two events in time changes depending on where the observer is. There is no way to perfectly synchronise two events which are separated in space. This is called the relativity of simultaneity. FTL communication results in paradoxes because of this. There is an awesome article on wikipedia that describes it more. Totally blew my mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity As an aside, I’ve found this to be a helpful way to visualise data flowing through distributed systems...
