I always wondered what went Bang. Mike says we will have to break free of existing concepts before we can roam through time. Okay, the two opposing views of the same thing are typically human. It is, however, correct that matter cannot exceed the speed of light. I wonder on what basis your second reader and yourself presume that thoughts travel faster than light.
Thoughts are a series of electrical synaptic connections in the brain.
Electricity cannot flow faster than the speed of light, in the best conductors it flows at slightly less than that. The synapses are not the best of conductors, so we can expect the electrical charges to flow at considerably less than the speed of light. If we consider thought transfer, telepathy, this too cannot occur at more than the speed of light, as this must be a form of electro-magnetic transmission, as radio waves. Well, physics is only a way of explaining things we experience in a mathematical sense. For a traditional physicist, a concept that does not work in the mathematical models known to him cannot exist.
