Default Re: Seeing the past: A somewhat realistic idea

I don't know if I understand your original post in its entirety, but here are some things you might want to keep in mind:

the speed of light is a constant, finite, and not relative; meaning that no matter how fast you're traveling, light will always be going at the speed c, therefore it is not plausible to go faster than the speed of light.

as for group experiments with lasers that "exceed" light speed but no information is transfered: It is kind of cheating and I'll explain why. To put it in laymen terms it's almost as if the lasers are running a relay race. Once the beam from one laser reaches a point, the next is started and so on and so fourth. So while the group of lasers combined speed exceeds that of light, no single one does therefore making the transmission of information impossible.
