However the question here is phrased a bit differently:
Is the relocation of a piece of information from one spot to another in a shorter time than c-speed light would cover the distance theoretically possible? Or at definitively least not ruled out to be impossible.

From what I know of relativity I'd wager the answer is either "no" or "your question is nonsensical", but I like to throw a bone to the romantic in me once in a while.
