For the know-it-alls who will undoubtedly start arguing about "correct and incomplete": By "correct" we mean that the theory correctly predicts the outcomes of experiments and does not differ appreciably from reality within the theory's domain of validity. "Incomplete" means that the theory's domain of validity does not encompass the entire universe. If you want to argue this, first read this popsci article > http://chem.tufts.edu/answersinscience/relativityofwrong.htm

>Faster-than-light communication is impossible
proofs?
you can't exceed the speed of light using light as the medium of information but that doesn't necessarily mean that you can't transmit information relatively faster than it would take light to travel

Faster-than-light communication is, according to relativity, equivalent to time travel.

SO , NO NO NO NO NO ...

The absence of evidence of WMDs in Iraq is evidence of absence of WMDs in Iraq. The absence of evidence of aliens is evidence of absence of aliens.

If there is a nonzero probability of evidence for X being present then its absence is evidence against X.

But that's wrong you fucking retard. If you folded space with an infinite amount of mass you wouldn't time travel.
