AI Thread Summary
Gravity may propagate faster than light in the macrocosm, suggesting potential for instantaneous communication. However, according to General Relativity and Special Relativity, faster-than-light communication is generally deemed impossible. The concept of wormholes is introduced as a theoretical means to achieve faster-than-light travel or communication. Wormholes are hypothetical passages through spacetime that could connect distant points in the universe. The discussion concludes with a focus on the limitations imposed by current scientific theories.

I heard that gravity is faster than light speed in the macrocosm and that subatomic particles react at the same time because of each other. I am wondering if it is possible to contact faster than light speed or immediatly anywhere.

probably not if GR/SR is correct .. only a wormohole might do it.
 
So what is a "wormohole"?

Assume that this is a case where by sheer coincidence, two sources of coherent single-frequency EM wave pulses with equal duration are both fired in opposing directions, with both carrying the same frequency and amplitude and orientation. These two waves meet head-on while moving in opposing directions, and their phases are precisely offset by 180 degrees so that each trough of one wave meets with the crest of the other. This should be true for both the electric and magnetic components of...
