Emotional rantings only make you look foolish. You are the one looking foolish up to now. If you want to claim you have perpetual motion, you need an *exceedingly* powerful argument before anyone will stop laughing. If you want to claim you have infinite gain bandwidth product you need an *exceedingly* powerful argument before anyone will stop laughing. If you want to claim you can carry information faster than light you need to a) prove that people like Shannon and others were wrong, and that information and energy are not interchangeable terms, or b) that you have found a way to carry energy faster than light. So far, all you've done it describe a variety of things that look like the phantom fast moving phase effects we all meet quite regularly. When amplitude or phase manipulation is really carrying information, its because those things are directly related to real energy manipulation. Steve

There is avery good reasons for that: You have presented no arguments to refute. > Your resort to insults does not help. What insults? I have only listed the factual errors, blunders and misconceptions you have displayed througout this thread. The person(s) you *really* want to chat with are 1) The guy you see in the mirror each morning 2) Whoever might have led you down this path in the first place 3) Whoever you might have encountered in your work, who did *not* point out the obvious to you, as I have done over the last couple of days. The facts remain: You don't have the faintest clue what you are doing, at any level. Rune
From: WWalker on 23 Mar 2010 13:45 Steve, The only thing one has to do to prove that information can be propagated faster than light, is to simply demonstate it. The simulation below clearly denonstrates that this is possible. Check it for yourself. Simply copy and paste it into Mathematica. The simulation generates a random modulated 100ns span signal by adding a 50MHz,1V Peak Cosine to a 22.7MHz, 1.7V peak Cosine. Then the Modulation is multiplied with 500MHz, 1V peak Cosine carrier. The reference envelope is extracted by dividing by the carrier. The AM signal is then run through the transfer function of a light speed propagating system [e^(iwr/c)] by adding phase terms (wr/c) to each harmonic of the signal, where i is the complex number, w is the radial frequency, r is the distance of field propagation (r=20cm). The envelope of this light propagated signal is then determined by dividing by a phase shifted (wr/c) carrier. The AM signal is then run through the Magnetic field component transfer function of an electric dipole antenna with the known transfer function: [e^(iwr/c)[-kr-i]] by adding phase terms (wr/c-ArcCos[(-wr/c)/Sqrt[1+(wr/c)^2]]) to each harmonic of the signal. The envelope of this dipole propagated signal is determined by dividing by a phase shifted (wr/c-ArcCos[(-wr/c)/Sqrt[1+(wr/c)^2]]) carrier. Plots are shown for all three signals with their extracted envelopes which align perfectly with their signal. Finally the envelopes are plotted and a zoom of the plot clearly shows that the information (modulation envelope) arrives earlier than a light speed propagated signal.

By that logic, we can already _travel_ faster than light, and I can prove it -- just watch any episode of Star Trek! But I'm not holding my breath for a scenic tour of Antares. -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com |
