The Wang Experiment Proves Relativity Is Wrong

First, a word on how light works and some definitions. Light propagates through as both a wave and particle. As it relates to this debate, we will be focusing on the waveform and leave the particle/wave duality weirdness to the theoretical physicists. Light propagates through any given medium at some fraction of c (e.g.. some number less than 299,792 km/s). In a perfect vacuum, light would propagate at exactly c.A standing wave is actually not a single wave. It's many different waveforms that converge and create a (wave function)- a meta-wave as it were. The standing wave is the sum of those waveforms. In other words, it's a composite of the waves that contribute to it. The standing wave can be manipulated (introducing variations in the peaks and troughs) in such a way as to transmit information. This is the principle that allows fibre-optic cable to operate and why the experiment was performed.However, while it is possible (and totally in keeping with relativity) to create a standing wave that appears to move faster than c, this effect cannot transmit information faster than c (which would cause serious injury to relativity) because it's not the standing wave that transmits information, it's the variation in the standing wave that transmits information. Since these variations in the standing wave are caused by the changes to the individual waveforms that constitute the standing wave and these individual waveforms can only propagate at some speed equal to or less than c, no matter how fast the individual standing wave appears to travel, information can only travel at some fraction of c. An example of this to illustrate. Imagine you have a laser pointer and you point it at the wall at a distance of one meter. When you flex your wrist just a little, the point of light will move. Then, repeat the same motion, pointed at the same wall from a distance of 5 meters. The point of light will appear to move a great deal faster (5 times the speed of the first). Now, if you had a super powerful laser pointer and you point it roughly at the visible edge of mars and move your wrist 20 degrees in one second, the laser pointer will cross mars at 1.9749e+7 mi/s or 106*c. But that's perfectly fine, because the theoretical laser pointer did not transmit any information faster than c, nor did any constituent part move faster than c.Just like our thought experiment, the Wang experiment was not measuring the speed of a single photon that they had coaxed into zooming along faster than c, it was measuring the velocity of the peak of a pre-existing standing wave which can move faster than the light that comprises it (just like a wave in any medium can move faster than the component particles of that wave). There is one simple concept that immediately invalidates the proposition: The peak of the standing wave can, in fact, 'travel' at superluminal speeds within the confines of an existing standing wave, but it cannot carry information faster than c and none of its constituent waves can travel faster than c. Therefore, it does not invalidate relativity.References (sorry, not APA): Journal Article "First-Order Fiber-Interferometric Experiments for Crucial Test of Light-Speed Constancy*" https://www.researchgate.net...Standing (Stationary) Waves https://youtu.be...Wait, I'm still confused why information can't travel faster than the speed of light.
