Hi, Lloyd,

You're certainly entitled to your opinions and ideas. However, it occurs to me that stubbornly refusing to accept that superluminal velocities are possible (even though superlumina is curently being proved in the lab) involves the same style of thinking as insisting that God created the Universe. Why did God create the Universe? Because the bible says so. Why can't we exceed the rate of atomic interaction (speed of light)? Because Einstein says so.

I wish that we had both lived in Einstein's day so that I could hear your refutations of SR and GR in real time. You reject these theories yet they are the foundation for establishing speed of light limitations.

Incidentally, I would like you to explain just why we cannot achieve superluminal velocities.
