I feel constrained to add a comment to this perennial discussion. The transmission of matter or energy faster than the speed of light would not require an overthrow of current theory. Relativity, which introduced this limit, was more a broadening of theory than a revolution. To suggest that relativity is, in turn, just a special case of some larger model is not absurd. All one can say about FTL transmission is that it is not predicted in the models that best fit physical observations. --MYC
