Obeying the cosmic speed limit

How does one reconcile this finding with the claim of Cool Papa Bell – a player in the old Negro baseball league – that he was so fast that, when he turned off the light switch by the door at night, he was under the covers and asleep before the room was dark?

Maybe Cool Papa Bell’s bedroom had an index of refraction much, much greater than one.

I will sleep better tonight knowing that this order remains in the universe.

Pete – quite simple. In the rush to perform this feat, he obviously bumped his head, and the resultant stars too a long time in disappearing…

Whew! I lost oh-so-many nights to sleepless dread that neutrinos might be breaking the speed limit! Now I can finally have a good night’s sleep again. 🙂

There goes my neutrino based time machine.

The bartender says, “We don’t serve faster than light particles here.”
A neutrino walks into a bar.
😉

Causality effects aside, there still may be tachyons, unless we are not allowed to detect them.

John @7 – how about this:

A neutrino walks (briskly) into a bar.
The bartender says, “We don’t serve faster than light particles here.”
The neutrino hands him an empty glass and says, “I’ll have another.”

Perhaps the reason its hard to measure God is because He travels faster than the speed of light.

Not if you are a calvinist.
Calvin was certain there had to be a hole to walk through for Jesus to appear to the disciples before Thomas.
His body had to obey all the Law of Physics.

Thus the difference on the Lord’s supper. That difference was all about Christology.
