Faster than light communication/propulsion

Well, here's the apparatus that the Berkeley group use for ftl communication -

- using quantum tunneling. But then, that's not strictly "signal speed". You can check out the research at -

Propulsion? You got me there!

Thanks for the reply. I have seen a similar diagram of that idea. I am interested in any ideas of accelerating matter past the light speed barrier. "Only a simple as it needs to be" - A.E.

how would fatser than light signals make a communications signal more controlable in direction or point it gets to?


The intuitive mind

Does the above apparatus make a predictable signal?

How well can you minaturize the parts so then it could be used for communications on a small level

The intuitive mind

On the same token, how does the recipient know what to expect. No signal can work without a key.
