Theory

Maybe FTL communication is possible... We put Gilly on the planet we wish to communicate with then get someone to spam on ocuk. I am nearly certain you would be able to see a real time twitch of Gilly's mouse hand towards then ban button :p
 
heres my theory

absolutely flawless... :p
 
I'm sure someone's already said this, but pushing a pole isnt instantaneous communication. If you pushed on one end, a pressure wave would move through the pole at a speed determined by the pole's density etc. It wouldnt be anywhere near the speed of light, and certainly wouldnt be instantaneous.
Nice try though :)

Bites back a really bad joke about the intelligence of a particular minority.

Apologies in advance...

Here's a way to get an 'object' to move faster than light

Mount a powerful laser on the Earth and point it at the moon, so that there's a dot on the lunar surface. Jiggle the laser rapidly up and down. The dot will move, very rapidly across the lunar surface, jiggle the laser fast enough (a couple of m/s IIRC) and the speed of the dot will exceed c

If you were to use that to transmit data, it would still be limited by the speed of light though. But I'm sure you knew that already :p

Tachyons, I believe, travel faster than light.

In theory, anyway.

They use them all the time in Star Trek, so there must be something to it... ;)

I have moved several carrots and let me assure you it works.

I dare you to go to the kitchen and move some carrots and observe the effects.

I laughed... :)

I tried and my dog ate the carrot!!

Did you factor in the fact that they'd never quite get around to installing it?

I could build a faster-than-light drive and go there while you're still on the blower to BT trying to convince them that it's not just noise on the line, they haven't put it in yet!
 
Whilst we are on crazy communication techniques...

Its the star phone!

Two massive "cups" connected by a bit of intergalactic "string"...

"But wait, never mind the logistics of getting that much string, and the speed at which the wave will travel along it - what kind of string could possible survive the "stresses and strains" of space and passing by stars etc ?"

Well, of course you guys heard of Super String Theory :D
 
All you really need is one chav and two "communications representatives". The reps give the chav messages and on regularly timed intervals the other rep holds up a £5 note, instantly causing the messenger to appear.
Costs you £5 a pop of course, but this value decreases for different chav source locations.

You could perhaps substitute the money for a carrot, and the chav for my dog... greedy blighter. But her message carrying potential is severely limited!

With my super string cup telephone, you don't have to worry about the string eating the message... :D
 
hmmmmmmmmmm

This has totally gone off topic oh well. At least i am a bit more knowledgeable on the subject. I see the post starter has been banned... :confused:
 
What im thinking is.. theres no resistance in space.. so when something is propelled it keeps going at that speed until a force pushes it back.

Well, blow-darts move really quickly. Im thinking if we get a blow-pipe and a load of aboriginals or general blow-pipe utilising people (Indians or something), then we can use a sort of morse code with the darts which hit a giant gong at the other end.. that would be really fast like.
