I remember seeing on one of those science specials on The learning channel
(or mabye the Discovery channel) that a professor did figure out
(accidentally) how to send information faster than light. The only thing I
remember about it was the the signal was some kind of music.
I remember now, it was a special on time travel on a month ago. Anybody
catch it?
