An alternative view
Hi!
An alternative view on the speed of light barrier could be that the speed is a constant for gravity and its effects, I hasten to add not gravitation [force] which in my opinion operates at supra-light speeds when made to interact with other elements.
We of course can't see any FTL interactions, we are living in a Universe that operates at 300,000,000m/sec and anything that interacts at FTL is invisible to us.
I see all FTL interactions rather like an old 25fps movie and in that movie an explosive shell is fired [off screen] and the train blows up, no matter what we do [unless we are very lucky] we won't see the shell in any frame of film.
It would readily explain 'spooky action at a distance', the apparent erratic positioning of the proton in matter and all number of other seemingly 'difficult' to explain observations, including the two slit phenomena.
Any thoughts?

So you think that a simple exchange of gravitation between distant particles at FTL speeds is a non-starter then?
Considering that any form of Higgs boson type of particle is glaringly absent [except by its effects] perhaps an FTL phenomenon might solve the riddle in a less prosaic manner.
To have gravitation operating at FTL would not require any re-write of GR or SR, just the destruction of HUP, the most unsatisfactory fudge in science since Aether! [In my opinion]
An equally less prosaic solution to the two-slit experiment is also there with FTL gravitational exchange.
You might be right, it's too simple.

Hmmmm.
So you can show me this observational evidence can you?
Gravity certainly works at below 'c' but gravitation?
FTL Gravitational Exchange [which is a quantum scale event] can certainly sideline HUP.
