Re: "If I was able to accelerate a stream of particles to above light speed. I could also turn the stream on and off and then use it to send a morse code type message with it."
'Timescape,' by Greg Bear, is about that very thing.

The reality (as per theory, of course) is that if particles travel faster than light, the receiving end will find that there is no correlation between when they were sent and when they arrived. In other words, they'd screw with time. Coded messages sent as such particles or as gaps in such particles would be received as random noise.

Great book, btw.

Decomposed > If anything is ever found to travel faster than light, it won't be useful. Of course, there are those who disagree...


Well . . . let me see . .
If I was able to accelerate a stream of particles to
above light speed. I could also turn the stream on
and off and then use it to send a morse code type
message with it.
