Thank you Ionized. I agree with your approach and understand that unless you work with this concept for a lot of time, it sure can appear like
fiction. However, true life will always be stranger than fiction and this is a good example.
I would like to move on to just one other subject called time. I am going to provide a brief explanation and tie it into this thread as something
which is affected by the speed of light.
Universe Power
The Case for Exceeding the Speed of Light
So long as man depends on the explanation that all universe energy is derived by the manipulation of universe power, he will be confined to the speed
of about 186,000 miles per second (the standard is 299,792 kilometers /second.). A fellow named Barry Setterfield in 1979 discovered there seems to
be a variation in the speed of light since it was first measured in the late 17th century, and that it seems to be decreasing. First, let us examine
what that may be about before we examine the larger question about being able to travel faster than the transmission of light.
Part of what I believe (theory) is at work is that the methods being used to provide measurements have experienced an interference with the direct
measurement of light. Setterfield went through years of records archived which used 16 methods. My theory is based on the knowledge that points in
space are not fixed even though we may call them that because we can not record motion at this distance. Some objects do not belong to our galaxy and
are subject to variations in shifts that are not taken into account. For instance, an object may be said to be “x” number of miles from us for
calculation purposes supposing that there is no intermediate injection of different motions between us and the object. That does not happen to be
true for all measurements.
A red shift or a blue shift is exaggerated by undetected intermediate motion of space. Space is not always a dependable constant proven by the fact
different space pressures exist (our instruments are not fine enough to detect it) and that space motion is sometimes in opposition to the one who is
measuring the object. This is not so hard to imagine if we looked at two trains on a turnstile. We as observers are standing on one of the
turnstiles. We can see the train that is with us, and we can see the parked train a light year away on a different turnstile. The trains themselves
are not moving, but the turnstile 1 light year away is moving and so is ours.
Notice, that if I could measure the distance to the train 1 light year away, I would consult my book and read its distance as observed at another
time. But today, the turnstile is moving the distant train around and the stadia input distance in my binoculars is set to convert to the speed based
on the published constant from the book. However, the turnstile has moved the train away from me (as it turns clockwise), and my turnstile is moving
counter clockwise away at the same time, doubling the error of distance for the calculation. This directly affects the light speed calculation by
some either minor factor or by some major factor depending on all the circumstances.
Space does the same thing. It exists in alternating-motion elliptical bands much like a phonograph record has bands around the center, so does space
organize itself in concentric circles thousands, millions, of light years apart. One has to be exceedingly careful about what object to select for
measurements or fall victim to the variable speeds-of-light calculations. I also understand that other kinds of interference is possible such as
gravity, quality of telescope lenses, and so forth, but those variances are slight compared to this list of variables found in the record for hundreds
of years.
In 1738: 303,320 +/- 310 km/second
In 1861: 300,050 +/- 60 km/second
In 1877: 299,921 +/- 13 km/second
In 2004: 299,792 km/second (accepted constant)
(See:

This problem is germane to the discussion of the speed of light.
Neither God or the Big Bang, whatever theory one may subscribe to, tinkers with the speed of light. That speed is determined by the inherent capacity
of light to travel in a straight line keeping its velocity attuned to the records of distance and speed to that object. Vary any of these input
numbers and the scientist will measure something in variance to the true speed. But the universe has lanes of pure energy in the form of the abundant
and massless radiation entities spoken to earlier. Acceleration beyond the speed of light can be attained IF a theoretical spaceship traveling in and
using one of these rivers of energy can reach out and tap a nearby energy lane and super-impose it on the one it is using. It can do this by
attracting these energy conduits to itself where it is (one coordinate plus 2 energy lanes) we have been calling black energy or Hawking radiation.
Since the transmission of light in those lanes is as they say it is, and the same thing occurs in a nearby network, the sum of the two equals the
ultimate value of the speed of transmission of the space ship. It is the “doing” of the chore to tap these lanes that takes all the
experimentation time.
Just a brief word about time now.
What makes the subject of time so difficult is that it is determined by analysis rather than as an actual transmission number. Time is a reference
unit without a body. We determine its dimensional (how long? how short?) aspects by common agreement of usage. Science uses just one definition of
time and that is the constant of light speed - a quantifiable fixture that is quite dependable. However, time has two other and quite real components
determined by analysis of the individual observer: psychological duration and value duration. I just want to mention them, not define them. If
science uses only the time transmission of light, that is sufficient to examine the physical universe as it is and exists. The other two factors
determine a personal sense of time and are metaphysical in their application.
Thank you.
