Sounds like a disaster of corruption just waiting to happen. I'd give it 3 years in an established Asgardia before the US is forced to bomb it.

Supposedly we just beat the speed of light. So yea

Relativity. Shine two flashlights away from each other and the combined speed is twice the speed of light even though nothingnis breaking the laws of physics.

Also, FTL travel is definitely possible, it just depends on the medium it's traveling through.

Light slows down through glass, where electrons can move faster through it, but it doesn't support any theory where something is faster than the cosmic speed limit, which is the speed of light in a vacuum.

Every experiment where someone claimed to have found a particle or wave that moves faster than the cosmic speed limit has been proven false, the most famous of which was the OPERA experiment in 2011. Turned out that a loose cable was the cause of erroneous readings.

Bennett's theory that the universe can expand at a speed faster than light isn't proven either. But, even still, light would still only travel at the cosmic speed limit through the expanding aether.....so kind of negates any ability to ever prove such a theory. How convenient for Bennett.....

On the article... 246,000 people from around the globe went to Austria to smoke cannabis, take drops of lysergic acid diethylamide and sing Imagine, by John Lennon.
