what i meant by "breaking the speed-of-light barrier" was that such things don't violate any relativistic laws. i should've been more clear about that.

but like i said, it's like an animation. it's not something actually moving (or at least not in the way we perceive it).

if everyone in a stadium threw their hands in unison, it could be described as a faster-than-light mexican wave. then we could all have a discussion as to whether the wave traveled clockwise or anti-clockwise.
