Take a look at this: http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/2195...n-s-theory.htm
You really have no idea do you Alan? The claim that the speed of light is a limiting value is a theory. It is not mathematics. They are two different animals. You can never prove a theory, you can only disprove it. When something is described by math you can PROVE IT. In fact, math is built on proofs. All kinds of them. This is the point. You are treating a proven mathematical construct as if it was theory. That's why I've been telling you that your statements are nonsense. They truly are nonsense in every sense of the word.

So, I have no problem with the potential discovery of faster than light particles (in fact, I'm a skeptic of all kinds of well known theories). It will require refining the THEORY of relativity and many other parts of physics. It will not, however, change one single thing in mathematics.
