Aug 19, 2020 at 0:44 | comment | added | Not_Einstein | Re. the laser spot on the moon - suppose the laser is in a fixed position and the spot on the moon is stationary. Now I aim the laser toward a different spot on the moon arbitrarily quickly. Light has to leave the laser in the new direction and travel at speed c to get to the new target. The spot is not going to move arbitrarily quickly to the new position. So I don't get how this is an example of something (albeit non-material) moving > c. | |
