yes it looks like it would be "easy" to construct, halogen bulb a couple
coils, power supply, rf input, but if it "does" transmit faster then
light couldn't i build the receiver today and plan on building the
transmitter tomorrow, turn it on and i should hear my message that i
sent tomorrow. right? my point is that what good would a transmitter
that transmits faster then light be, how would you know when to listen
for a message because if at 4:00pm i send you a message, then you would
have to listen for the message at 2:00pm, then you reply at 2:10, then i
would hear your reply before i send the message. so if i sent myself a
message at 4:00pm and i always had the unit turned on and listening, i
would hear my message before i sent it and therefore not need to send my
message, therefore never send the message in the first place?
i'm not saying it doesn't work (because i haven't tried it) but i'm
saying "how would you know that it was actually sending the message
faster then light other then hearing a message before you sent it"?
