Enough from the antis
Ye canna break the laws of physics!

The body of information we call science is akin to a grain of sand on a beach. Try this..
Assume a magnetic wave at the surface of a superconductor ring is
traveling at a velocity of 90% the speed of light.
The speed of light is about 300 million meters per second and 90%
of the speed of light is 270 million meters per second.
If the wave can be measured at a distance of 130% the radius of
that ring, than it is moving faster than light.
Since angular rotation is
ω = 2Π / T = 2Π f = V / r
The angular speed for all parts of the wave is the same. From the
equation above the relationship between velocity of the wave at the
base and at the top and their radii is
Vtop / (R + r) = Vbase / R
Vtop = Tangential velocity at top of wave
Vbase = Tangential velocity at base of wave
R = radius of circle at base of ring
r = radius of ring at top of wave
This means that
Vtop = Vbase x (R+r) / R
= 270 million m/s x 130 /100
= 351 million m/s
= 117% the speed of light.

It isn't unusual to go through life in a daze, unbelieving in
everything that makes this world good. My eyes have taken me to
unusual places and times and sometimes, if I open them just that
little more, I see just that more light.
