Usable or not this seems to be a spooky statement can this 10000 be falsified?.
Experiments have already shown that if you want to invoke signals to explain things, the signals would have to be traveling faster than light -- more than 10,000 times the speed of light, in fact. To those who know that Einstein's relativity sets the speed of light as a universal speed limit, the idea of signals traveling 10,000 times as fast as light already sets alarm bells ringing. However, physicists have a get out: such signals might stay as 'hidden influences' -- useable for nothing, and thus not violating relativity. Only if the signals can be harnessed for faster-than-light communication do they openly contradict relativity.
