Faster Than Light, the Revolutionary Radio Antenna That Conquers Space [pdf]

>"What makes a Radio Signal faster than Light? - Erich Erdmann Although it is primarily based on theory, we believe that the reason why a radio signal moves with the speed of light is because the magnetic and electrostatic force lines are at right angle to their direction of travel and furthermore both force fields also somehow interact with one another. In other words it is the right angle thing which prevents the signal from moving faster than light. This would mean, that if we want the radio signal to move faster than light, we would have to somehow make use of either force fields on it’s own in order to prevent the two fields from interacting with one another, and last not least, the force lines should be longitudinal, not perpendicular. In our case we chose the electrostatic field and used a metal sphere to generate the field to avoid any unwanted electrical discharges usually associated with sharp edges." PDS: Disclaimer: I don't know that I believe this; but then again, I don't know that I don't... <g> That however, does not stop the underlying material, true or false, real or unreal -- from being interesting, highly interesting! Also, the authors suggest various experiments that can be done to replicate (or perhaps repudiate, as the case may be!) their findings... I for one, am very hopeful that they might have discovered something! (Also, why do these Faster-Than-Light antennas (if they work) -- look strangely like Tesla Coils? <g>) Related: "Experiments with Faster than Light Receiving Antenna, Using the Local Radio Station" http://www.tuks.nl/pdf/Reference_Material/Fast_Light/Erdmann%20-%20Experiments%20with%20Faster%20than%20Light%20Receiving%20Antenna.pdf http://www.tuks.nl/pdf/Reference_Material/Fast_Light/Erdmann...

  I have no clue about the radio math, but the consequences of FTL information transfer are physics-breaking so it's like 99.9999999% bullshit and would require truly extraordinary evidence.

    You could round those 9s up and be done with it. :-)

Right. Now for some physics. You could break the speed of light by changing the values for the physical constants vacuum permativity, vacuum permeability and fine structure. If you found a way to actually do that then you'd get a damn side more than a Nobel prize - you'd change the universe as we know it and you, we - all of us would cease to exist.
