-> MS>>> light is absolutly special and ever will be. By normal
-> MS>>> means it is clearly impossible to go faster or even as fast
-> MS>>> as the speed of light. Only particles without a mass can do
-> MS>>> that. Photons for example.

-> BK>>  In a distant galaxy, two science stations are located 10 light
-> BK>>  seconds apart. One day a wave front, stretching along the line
-> BK>>  w1/w2 is detected approaching the science stations. It is
-> BK>>  approaching at an angle to the line between them. The wave front
-> BK>>  is moving at the speed of light, and, as it is detected, it is
-> BK>>  one light second from science station y, and two light seconds
-> BK>>  from science station x.

->  MS> Not that it matters, but how would they detect it? You

Gravity waves if they exist as predicted would per Einstein
travel faster than light.
