Quoting from Valev's reference....

"While the peak moves faster than light speed, the total energy of the
pulse does not. This means Einstein's relativity is preserved, so do
not expect super-fast starships or time machines anytime soon".

Similarly arbitrary information cannot be transmitted faster than the
speed of light.


Ah, but young master Pentode Valve didn't expect you to actually read
the whole article.
He obviously didn't.
