You can't just assume that understanding a law allows you to violate it. Understanding leads to some advantage, but it may well just be a diversion of resources away from trying the impossible. If it is inherently contradictory that FTL neutrinos can be used for communication, then what you are suggesting is obviously wrong. And seeing as how you don't know that, you'd be foolish to assume it.
- vegedor 12y agoI don't really understand what law you refer to, i guess you mean According to special relativity, c is the maximum speed at which all matter and information in the universe can travel. Remember, it's just a theory, therefore your tone seems a bit condescending, while your text is a bit terse, that is hard to follow for anyone who doesn't share the same opinion already. I mean, "it may well just be a diversion of resources away from trying the impossible." I find it a tad too patronizing, but I'll take it as reality check, where foolish means fantastic dream, so have a counter upvote.
