B Observational Effects of "FTL" spotlight from laser pointer?

  • #51
RandyD123 said:
When you shine the laser at an object in the sky, those light photons are real. And if you sweep the sky with the laser on, those photons are real as well. All photons will get there when they are supposed to, but none will travel FTL. Is that not correct?
Do you think my reply in post #47 implies otherwise?
