Physics FAQ: Is Faster Than Light Travel or Communication Possible?
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physic...Light/FTL.html It might be thought that special relativity provides a short negative answer to this question. In actual fact there are many trivial ways in which things can be going faster than light (FTL) in a sense, and there may be other more genuine possibilities. On the other hand there are also good reasons to believe that real FTL travel and communication will always be unachievable. This article is not a full answer to the question which will (no doubt) continue to be discussed in the newsgroups for the foreseeable future, but it does cover some of the more common points which are made repeatedly.
