Re: Faster than light, not

No objects accelerate to the speed of light. Massless bosons (photons) travel at the speed of light, all other particles have rest mass and therefore are doomed to be subluminal ( though some, such as neutrinos, tend to travel so close to lightspeed that we are unable to measure the difference).

Another way of looking at the inconsistency is to note that for massive particles, velocity is always relative to the observer, whereas entanglement is an absolute property. They are not related in any way.
