B Why can't energy or information go faster than light?

Click For Summary
Energy and information cannot exceed the speed of light due to the principles of relativity, which state that as objects approach light speed, their mass increases, requiring more energy for acceleration. If information were to travel faster than light, it could lead to causality violations, such as receiving a message before it is sent, creating paradoxes like the "Tachyonic Anti-telephone." The discussion emphasizes that the laws of physics, particularly the principle of relativity, prevent faster-than-light communication to maintain causal consistency in the universe. While hypothetical faster-than-light effects could exist, they would challenge fundamental beliefs about space-time and require extraordinary evidence. Ultimately, the consensus is that the universe's structure inherently limits the speed of information transfer to that of light.

I am a little confused

That is clear.

danielhaish said:
t assume that there is two location with difference time frames

That is not.

danielhaish said:
and in each location there is one quant

Nor is that. What is a "quant"?

danielhaish said:
but when you put measure device on one quant it like sending a signal to the past

I understood that! But it is not correct.

No, it isn't. The measuring device only affects the thing being measured at the spacetime location of the measurement. It doesn't affect anything to the past.

@danielhaish I am sorry but your posts simply do not meet our quality standards. I am closing this thread. I don’t know that we will be able to help you at all here. You may want to find a forum in your native language where the others may have a chance to understand what you are asking.
