To the brainlets who can't see it: when the two sources of light destructively interfere in the middle the shadow bulges travel faster than light speed

>>8787443
im a fucking idiot but my guess is you are confusing two qualities that aren't related in a way you are suggesting

shadows aren't objects

I'm really fucking tired of telling retards that there's no speed limits for shadows; shadows aren't made of anything

Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of, you fucking brainlet

>>8787443
then what is pros- ?

Yeah, and I can swipe a laser pointer across the cosmos to achieve FTL travel too.

Can shadows allow FTL communication?

>>8788283
No.

>>8787443
Whom would win?
100 years of theory vs 1 gif with shitty fps

constant speed of light is not a true fact, it's merely a postulate needed to establish a theory.
can you finally be able to distinguish between these 2?

>>8787443
Light is energy. Energy looses strength. Therefor the speed of light is not constant.

Well, post it

>>8788308
>Whom
This is why most fags here should take an English class.

>>8788466
What? How does energy loosen strength? Please enlighten me.

>>8787448
shadows aren't actual things you stupid fuck

>>8788283
Information is transmitted from the light source to the locations it strikes, not between those points.

1st postulate of post-anabelian froeboid-geometric m-theory nigga

>>8788308
Saying "whom would win" is the same as saying "him would win". It's "who would win" because you would say "he would win".

>>8790107
and whomst?

>>8787448
Your parents must be proud of you

ok what about this: maybe light is being slowed down by tiny particles, in a TRUE vacuum, they'd move faster. if we have a gas in a centrifuge-does it get pulled into the outside as it spins? why not try shooting a light through a centrifugal vacuum?

>>8787443
DELETE THIS

>>8788586
Yeah, and something virtually undetectable like dark matter is more real than this, right?

See...
This thing you show is cute.
But what you really want to show is destructive interference in other fields.

>not knowing that with speed of light actually most of the time the speed of causality is meant

of course wave fronts can travel faster than the speed of light, but neither wave packets nor information

What are shadow puppets? You can easily create images and messages out of shadows.

>>8790776
you can't project a shadow onto the surface of a planet in another solar system

if you wanted to send a shadow puppet show to Alpha Centauri it would take 4 years for your light ray to get there and then beings there would see the light get dimmer or blink on and off as long as your gay little show lasted. the message recipient might be able to construct a message from the sequence of light pulses (which is what every computer on earth already does)

you would have achieved nothing revolutionary. you did not transmit data FTL, you moron

>>8790188
what's more: if we can shoot photons at each other, faster than light (if the vaccuumated-retractible-rotary-centrifuge works, destroys the c limit), we may be able to get them to bind or bind with matter. I dub any of these such to-be-found particle-conglomerates photo-loves.

>>8790231

but if shadows can travel faster couldn't we send some shadow morse code message or something? Technically violating the information thing

>>8787448
If I shine a laser pointer at one point in the sky and quickly move to another, the laser is 'moving faster than c' except it isn't because the laser dot isn't actually moving, because it doesn't actually exist. The photons which create its image, do exist, and are moving at exactly c.

>>8788535
what did whoms't mean by this?

>>8790776
You can't transmit information by unary means, you gotta have at least binary.
Light (or other emw) is used to transmit information in a binary fashion by being on or off (state of shadow).
What heppens in the OP gif is interferential bulges going faster perpendicularly in the middle of two emissions. It only goes faster at first because of how circles work, it'd actually be slower if you go very far from the emission points. So this wouldn't work unless you got two planets about as far distant to each other as the target is to the middle of the line between them as emettors.
Wich is stupid because you'd then need FTL for the emission to be synched.

a shadow itself can "move" faster than light but the information travels from the object causing the shadow to the surface the shadow is seen on, and then to the observer seeing the shadow.

"this"

>>8793337
I don't get this myth. Why do people think that a shadow moves faster then light?
if there is light, and you stand in front of it, the shadow wont appear until all the light has bounced off from being you... or rather, if you put an object close to the sun in such a way that it casts a shadow on earth, we won't know it's there for another 8 minutes. and when you remove the object the light from the sun wont reach is for another 8 minutes again. so the shadow has the same delay as light. ofc it does. the shadow is an effect caused by the absence of light. and light can't be absent faster then it is present. That's just bullshit

I have hope that entropy isn't as inevitable as it seems. There's a possibility we could find more usable energy in another universe.

>What are shadow puppets?

Information propagates from light source A to points B and C at the speed of light.

Let's say a shadow puppet at A moves in such a way as its shadow moves between B and C faster than the speed of light, An observer at B, looking towards C, will only see light from point C at a slight delay, limited by the speed of light, not faster.
