You can communicate faster than light if you use a medium which travels faster than light, like graviton pulses which as far as I know travel infinitely fast.

All you have to do is take a black hole and figure out a way to rotate it at will. The gravity well imprint it leaves in space can be measured at a distance, thus sending a bit of data faster than light.
"You can't communicate faster than light" is about as true as "Men can't fly". It is only a matter of engineering.

- oelewapperke 15y agoToo bad one of the big tests of relativity was to check if gravity does indeed travel faster than light. This was tested using the orbit of mercury. You see either mercury gets pulled to the location the sun IS, or it gets pulled to the location the sun WAS. In the latter case you will see an oscillation. We checked, and the predicted oscillation was there. Funny thing is that that oscillation will get bigger the closer 2 objects are together, and this makes very low orbits possible around very heavy objects, and several such orbits have been confirmed to exist.
