>>>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.

I'm assuming that the theory presupposes that traveling faster than
light also means 'going out of time'. And if it doesn't?

Light travels, what, 3 X 10^^8 meters per second? If finite space
operates the way it normally does and I accelerate my particle stream
to, say, 3 X 10^^10 meters per second and shoot it off to a distant
star my beam should get to the target before a laser beam shot on
the same trajectory would. Encode the date time at start of transmission
and I see no reason why the recipients - assuming they knew ahead of
time what sort of encoding I was using - couldn't decode it. And
know when it was sent.

But I don't pretend to understand quantum physics.
If mass does increase as velocity near light speed it should make
it impossible to accelerate a particle faster than light.

Particles Found to Travel Faster Than Speed of Light

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/particles-found-to-travel/

September 22, 2011
An Italian experiment has unveiled evidence that fundamental particles known as neutrinos can travel faster than light. Other researchers are cautious about the result, but if it stands further scrutiny, the finding would overturn the most fundamental rule of modern physics—that nothing travels faster than 299,792,458 meters per second.

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.
