My feeling is that speed of THOUGHT is even faster, and I believe that is how these craft operate. Before anyone lambastes me, let me state that is only my opinion. lol
Hey its all opinions, how else could they get here 20 light years away, they have a technology way beyond us

Our eyes see light that is reflected off of things. They only see what ENTERS THEM. That's all that sight is - light that is reflected off of things into our eyes.

Thought operates through electric signals, and these signals can not be faster than light.

Speed of light and speed of sight are the same thing, when we look at stars we are seeing them in there state in the past, depending on there distance.

yes, to the previous poster, it's my opinion that if an object approaches the speed of light and surpasses it (yea supposedly impossible i know), it will beat TIME to the destination.
In the exact same manner it'll beat sound to the destination.

I entertained this idea back when I was a child. After learning some basic physics and biology in high school I dismissed the idea. Like members have said before, whatever you see is the past. There is no "instant". When you look at the sun, you see it as it was 8 minutes ago. When you look at Sirius, you see it as it was 8 light years ago. You don't see them as they are (almost at present) because light takes that amount of time to reach to your eyes. All your eyes do is receive the signals. They don't send out anything.

Logically this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Speed is distance measured against time. For something to 'beat' time, it would have to have a faster 'speed' than time. How can you measure the 'distance' time covers against time? That would require measuring time against itself.
