if i could run faster than the speed of light...

I deleted the last few posts, @elsparko - this is a very interesting and mind provoking thread so let's not drag it down with crude toilet humour please.
It is a subject you may have guessed that I have an interest in as I love the complexity and mind challenging field that is quantum physics, if you really want your mind stretch then just ask and I'll add more input to keep the thread burning

what happens at the singularity in a black hole? if you were going faster than the gravity could pancake you could you survive?

@elsparko
If you want to involve our understanding of physics and how we accept it works then the answer would be totally different to hypothetical scenarios that you present, in answer your atomic structure would have been pulled into it's subatomical particles long before you got anywhere near the singularity and your speed would not be exceeding any limits you prescribe.

I used to be addicted to time travel, but that’s all in the past now. Now I just listen to Queen to lighten the mood.

What has always baffled me for yonks is when you spin your head round like a disk at light speed, it moves in a rotational motion. The faster it spins, the faster it moves. But something else is happening or not happening depending on your point of view. As you're moving linearly towards the centre of your head, its motion is slowing down. And as you keep moving towards the centre, you're moving even more slowly. Until you reach the exact centre where the pattern shows your head is not rotating at all. And it doesn't matter how fast that head is spinning, its exact centre never moves. The problem does not stop here, because the outside of your head is turning faster than the inside of your head and the closer you get to the centre of rotation the slower is the rotation, which tends to zero. So as you stand in the middle of the rotation the centre of your brain, if you have one, tends to zero. So my question is, how can it be that the outside of my brain can come up with so many good ideas when in the centre there is nothing going on at all?

Your incorrect kam' if you are discussing the macro level then the very centre of your brain is still rotating about its axis .. you go down to the atomic level then all kinds of crazy calculations are needed.

havent a chinese company found a way to split particles and use them to transmit information almost instantly? quantum entanglement

another thing i want to bring up is the teleporter on star trek, how i see no problem with rebuilding a biological being , how do they transmit the consciousness of the teleportee?

...... split particles and use them to transmit information almost instantly? quantum entanglement

Entanglement is pretty weird , and knows if your watching.
.. Could be proof that God does not watch over
"Physics Experiments" for sure ! ...

Wasn’t there once a cowboy that could shoot faster than his shadow?

Quantum entanglement is a very complicated subject and cannot be addressed with general logic as part of an enquisitive question, it requires a deeper understanding to comprehend the theory and why it is difficult to take in, Brian Cox made that error in one of his TV lectures by slipping into one of his own theories as oppose to what science tells us.

Quantum entanglement brings in space/time and the whole question of how our universe really works and because this counters your basic logical mind it really takes years of studying to alter your observational mind and to accept an alternative concept.

A particle been in 2 places at once and directly influence each other regardless of distance seems totally illogical but logic has to be sidetracked to appreciating the quantum world and trying to understand it.

isnt that what they are also doing at cern along with the god particle malarky?

when confronted with theories such as these i just look up at night and think how illogical this entire thing already is, many a night ive kept myself awake pondering what was the cause of the first effect that we call the "big bang" and how did it come to where i am now

i get vertigo looking at the milky way but at the same time i cant look away
