I believe that some cosmic reactions seem to have been energetic enough to fire particles through the light barrier, so that they arrive down here before the event that created them.
Is it also feasible for an object, like pure information, that has no weight in 3 dimensions, to travel faster than light? And is this meaningful?
The origins of this question lies in the "Life Lines" that Nature puts on the palms of our hands whilst a developing foetus; here, 100 years of "history" from the future comes back and is laid out on our hands before we are born. As we go through life, the lines on, I think, our left hand, change to reflect what we have actually done, so our palms are different. But is does suggest that the information about our "probable" coming life is out there waiting for us ... we just select the path we choose to follow in this sea of fuzzy information.
