Yeah, that’s why the quantum world is so appealing yeah? Seemingly breaks laws of physics that it shouldn’t. My only guess for communication exceeding light speed would be somehow using quantum entanglement, but that would be thousands and thousands of years in the future I think lol.

You say that, but some journalist said we were one million years away from flight and then something like a week later the Wright brothers conducted their first flight.

While we may not be quite that close, it may not be as far away as you think.

While I'd love this to happen, it's a very different proposition. We knew heavier than air flight was possible, birds had been doing it for millions of years prior to the Wright brothers. Even humans had demonstrated flight before, the Montgolfier brothers had demonstrated flight more than 150 years before the Wrights.

The issue is we know of nothing that can transmit faster than the speed of light, we have no model to work from.
