This is a news report from 1997. Thought I'd share it and place it in the archive here.

Wow this is fairly interesting... Travelling at the speed of light ... Obviously disinformation ... since travelling at the speed of light is no big deal really ... you sure as hell don't need spare body parts for luggage...
Especially if the speed of light were a constant only in the form that it occupies every possible numeric and non numeric value... not just one value... HAHA that is laughable.. But still it is only one value because it is all values.
As much as I figure for now the only thing that really determines the speed of light is it's proximity to a big bang... of course ... this is probably not really what determines the speed of light but for now it will suffice.
No big deal?
Actually ... if the sun where orbiting dark matter at the speed of light? You d be travelling faster than the local speed of light as you read this? So technically... It is really ... not a big deal... in fact OBJECTIVELY -- travelling beyond the speed of light has absolutely nothing to do with travelling throughout the universe.

What people seem to miss out on with regards to the speed of light, which I think is important with regards to it, is our situation/status.
The speed of light could be variable, depending on how the universe is percieved. There may be some beings who are able to travel what we would consider vast distances with barely any effort at all, because they experience the universe "faster" than we do. It would mean that they would see our world like someone hit fast forward - in this way, light could also travel at a higher speed (or, the speed of it becomes irelevant, and the speed and status of perception becomes more relevant).
We may see them as extremely slow, and not understand how they can survive travelling such vast distances, but when their perception is speeded up so much, they don't care about what we would perceive as 100 years, to them it would be like a second.
How does it help us that other beings may see things faster than we do? Maybe if the universe operated that fast for us, then we would not be able to have time to see what is happening, or to think even. However, when you consider that thought could also be in sync with the speed of the universe, we would definately have time to think because we would be able to think faster too. There would be no difference really, it could be fast or slow and we wouldn't be able to tell the difference. What seems to make the difference is our situation. I mean, everything we do is because we need to do it, we need to have this perception of time in order to maintain our bodies. We can't sit in a seat for 100 years and see it as one second because it is our whole life, and we would be dead within a couple of days if we just sat there. We need to think when we walk along the street! Its not an automatic process for us, like many other things we do.
So this is how I see it... a very likely possibility imo which I think could quite easily happen. We will be merged with computers where we don't have to eat, we don't have to walk along the street. Efficiency will be increased to the point where thousands of things we do now will not be necessary, and our perception of time will change... a lot! The physical world will become the mainenance of an automated machine which serves as a network which can send data as lifeforms to distant planets, where machines are operated by this data. The perception of time will be variable depending on what body you occupy if any, and of course physicality of machines will be far different than what we have now, even our human bodies, and may even be able to change shape like transformers or something far more advanced.
I think that makes a lot of sense, and should be seriously considered. The funny thing is, it seems our world is going this way, but no one seems to *really* notice it. Its something that seems to be happening automatically, naturally, or by some kind of secret or exterior power. Its a time to be very careful about our privacy and our rights imo, otherwise we could be turned into slaves, I mean, like a literal Hell on earth (and the rest of the unvierse) scenario. I mean what people think of as Hell, is what it is, and theres a very high chance of it coming imo. We would be slaves to "economy" and computers. No one will like it except those that have freedom and access to all areas of the system, kind of similar to what is happening now, but a more "obvious" form, and more robust.
