So are you saying that a photon of light could arrive before even being sent? LOL! It just took off and got there before I hit the switch? What if I changed my mind and didn’t hit the switch?

“Photons have no mass.”
Then why does a photon drive work?

You obviously are not a Presbyterian.

**** the M Theory is correct and alternate universes do exist
oh puhlease ****
Nope, no oh please. I'm series.
With the M Theory Physicists have proved Alternate (parallel) Universes exist (and that there's eleven dimensions, not just the three we know, or 4 including 'time', but that's another matter). To quote one he said,
"In one universe you are there but I am not. In another universe Al Gore is President."
The M Theory also answers the cause of the Big Bang.
Note: none of this negates God or religion in general. 'Someone' had to put all this 'stuff' there to begin with.

Like I said earlier, if they truly broke the speed of light then the light arrived before it even left the point of origin. Totally impossible. Are you sure about that?

Actually, Kurt Godel developed a solution to the Einstein equations which describe “closed timelike lines” in which it is possible to travel “back” in time without having to travel faster than the speed of light.

I want to go back to an evening I spent with Maria Louisa Gonzalez Escobar in Mexico. Can you please forward me the equations?

I’m fairly sure that measuring departure and arrival time with a light beam over a short distance of only 3 feet is plenty of room for error. Like I said, how can something arrive before it leaves?

The pair say they have conducted an experiment in which microwave photons - energetic packets of light - travelled "instantaneously" between a pair of prisms that had been moved up to 3ft apart. Interesting, if true, but I remember the "cold fusion" excitement, in the 1980s, which turned out to be just experimental error.
In this case the microwaves should have taken about 3 billionths of a second (.000000003 seconds) to travel this far. The difference between .000000003 seconds, and 0 seconds, is very small, and requires very good experimental methodology to measure correctly.
