The discussion centers on the theoretical implications of exceeding the speed of light (C) and whether it could allow for future predictions or reverse causality. Participants acknowledge that current physics, particularly special relativity, prohibits faster-than-light travel for particles with mass, though they entertain the concept of hypothetical tachyons, which could travel faster than light but lack empirical evidence. The conversation also touches on the philosophical aspects of such premises, arguing that speculating beyond established scientific limits can lead to meaningless conclusions. Furthermore, while some participants express skepticism about the possibility of faster-than-light communication, they recognize the value of questioning established paradigms in science. Ultimately, the thread highlights the tension between scientific rigor and imaginative speculation in exploring the boundaries of physics.

I recently read a book called "The God Effect" that discussed instantaneous communication via entanglement as a possibility- but it the conclusion was rather pessimistic. You would definitely find the novel interesting.
