and you felt it necesary to try and re-word swansont`s post in #23 because?

 

as he said, it depends on the context! and although it mightn`t have been the best choice of words, in context, the point is that FTL is possible WITHOUT the requirement of "tachyon" thingies

what i am trying to say is though you can beat light from point A to point B, you aren't going faster than light.

I wouldn`t have worded it like that, but effectively YES

 

you`ll never beat C there from A to B, not ever. but Light speed you can

THAT`s what I`ve been trying to say all along, hence I said in post #5 that I`m not sure if Air at STP would be dense enough to slow it down over such a short distance!

Agreed YT... I mean, you could walk faster than light in this http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn340 scenario... but you can never exceed c.
