Default Is Faster Than Light Travel or Communication Possible? - From John Baez's Site


The below is BRILLIANT!

From John Baez's Site (http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/):
Is Faster Than Light Travel or Communication Possible?

I'm certain there are many here who have read this, but perhaps
there are those who have not and would welcome the information it
contains.


Be well - Pax

PS - Below are some Einstein quotes.

..~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._. ~*~.

What are ten years in the history of humanity? Must
not all those forces that determine the life of a man
be regarded as constant compared with such a trifling
interval? - Albert Einstein - Out of My Later Years

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my
imagination. Imagination is more important than
knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination
encircles the world. - Albert Einstein

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational
mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society
that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
- Albert Einstein

As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality,
they are not certain; and as far as they are certain,
they do not refer to reality - Albert Einstein

I don't believe in mathematics. - Albert Einstein

Do not worry about your problems with mathematics, I
assure you mine are far greater. - Albert Einstein

Example isn't another way to teach, it is the only
way to teach. - Albert Einstein

Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel
with their own hearts. - Albert Einstein

He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already
earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain
by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would
suffice. - Albert Einstein

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but
not simpler. - Albert Einstein

Great spirits have always found violent opposition
from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it
when a [person] does not thoughtlessly submit to
hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously
uses their intelligence. - Albert Einstein

When forced to summarize the general theory of
relativity in one sentence: Time and space and
gravitation have no separate existence from matter.
- Albert Einstein

I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted.
I am only very, very curious.
- Albert Einstein

If A equals success, then the formula is:
A = X + Y + Z,
X is work.
Y is play.
Z is keep your mouth shut.
- Albert Einstein

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human
stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
- Albert Einstein

A question that sometimes drives me hazy:
am I or are the others crazy?
- Albert Einstein

The difference between stupidity and genius is that
genius has its limits. - Albert Einstein

Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them.
- Albert Einstein

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be
called research, would it? - Albert Einstein

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very
persistent one. - Albert Einstein

Setting an example is not the main means of
influencing others; it is the only means.
- Albert Einstein

When the solution is simple, God is answering.
- Albert Einstein

There are two ways to live your life. One is as
though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though
everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too
much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads
too much and uses his own brain too little falls into
lazy habits of thinking.
- Albert Einstein

A human being is part of the whole called by us
universe, a part limited in time and space. We
experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as
something separate from the rest. A kind of optical
delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of
prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our
task must be to free ourselves from the prison by
widening our circle of compassion to embrace all
living creatures and the whole of nature in its
beauty... We shall require a substantially new manner
of thinking if mankind is to survive.
- Albert Einstein
