.... actually..information needs a medium..the photon pulses in a transmission do not in themselves contain "information"... but the sequence of arrival could convey info... the medium can theoretically be the faster than light particles...

so technically if tachyonic particles exist, information can travel faster than light...

The whole problem is that we do not know what a Tachyon particle is, aside from those numerous episodes of Star Trek :TNG / Voyager. Hell, if we knew what subspace was we could use that to transmit the info, but that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Here's an interesting side note. In one of the later ST:V B'Elanna Torres orders someone to check the "inductive capacitance". Does anyone else find this very strange, since an Inductor and a Capacitor are two, very different electronic components, and their assoiated behaviour is not the same.

I'm done ranting for now.
