Hold on there: 3 x 10^8 m/s — it’s not just a good idea, it’s the law!

IIRC, the sun
appeared to rotate around the earth to the limited perspective of our ancestors.

Why hasn’t that monument to racism and bigotry been torn down yet?

It must be Trump’s fault because of climate change or something.

I think the usual speed of light limitations can be undone by massive objects and violent events that warp space, time, and the very laws of physics.

We measured an apparent motion that is four times faster than light. That illusion, called superluminal motion, results when the jet is pointed nearly toward Earth and the material in the jet is moving close to the speed of light, Dr. Mooley said.

I am trying to work my way through the math on “Superluminal Velocity,” but I don’t see how we get go from hyperspace to plaid with it.
I understand how this effect can appear to exceed C by a certain percentage, but not 400%.

Such jets need to be pointed relatively closely toward the Earth for the gamma-ray burst to be detected. But not exactly right at earth. That would be bad.
Note, What they observed actually happened about 140 million years ago.

What is the speed minimum of light? How slow can it move?
To: Stosh
Actually it’s 299,972,458 m/s but whatever

In their defense they are building data on an event that happened about 140 million years ago.
