-> Well... Ok.... I still find it difficult to accept a proof
-> of nonexistence; I guess I'd have to see the basis for the
-> proof (and understand it ).  It has been "proven" that
-> no physical object can attain, let alone, exceed the speed
-> of light, but many of us hold out hope for some undiscovered
-> loophole......                ;-)
Please remember that proofs in mathematics are different in nature than
"proofs" in science. It is indeed possible in math to prove
non-existence. One of the things I will be working on with my calculus
class next week is proving the non-existence of certain limits for
particular functions. Mathematicians like proofs of non-existence, since
they then know not to waste their time looking for something that
doesn't exist!
