What Is the Speed of an Idea Compared to Light's Limit?

Chapter 1: The Nature of Speed
What exactly is the speed of an idea? Can it possibly surpass the speed of light? And how does this relate to your beloved feline companion, Fluffy?
Let’s pause for a moment. I remember being taught that nothing can exceed the speed of light. You’re familiar with the equation E=MC², right? This formula states that energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared.
It's crucial for amateur physicists to use precise terminology. The pivotal term here is mass. Nothing that possesses mass can exceed the cosmic speed limit, which is the speed of light.
Now, consider something without mass—such as an idea. Ideas, as we understand them, lack physical weight. How swiftly can an idea move from point A to point B? Is it instantaneous?
While this notion seems simple, it ventures beyond the conventional physics of our three-dimensional world. Might the speed of an idea or thought be akin to, or even identical to, the speed observed in quantum entanglement?
I suspect there’s a connection here. But how can we quantify the speed of quantum entanglement? Isn’t it regarded as instantaneous? Interestingly, a team of Chinese physicists provided insight on this in 2013.
Quantum Entanglement Measured
In their research, they found that entangled particles could communicate at an astonishing speed of 3 trillion meters per second—exceeding light’s speed by a factor of 10,000. To put this in perspective, light travels at roughly 300,000 kilometers per second.
So next time you tune into a late-night science documentary, you can impress others with the fact that while light takes 4.3 years to reach Alpha Centauri, a thought or quantum entanglement could theoretically accomplish this journey in just 3–4 hours. That’s significantly quicker than a flight from New York to Los Angeles!
Implications for UFOs
This revelation may shift the perspective of skeptics who dismiss the idea of UFOs or UAPs being piloted by extraterrestrial visitors because of the supposed impossibility of faster-than-light travel. The findings from Chinese researchers opened a new avenue in our understanding of the universe less than a decade ago.
With a million years of advancement, we too might evolve into those sophisticated beings exploring far-off solar systems, studying the diverse life forms scattered across the universe.
Once, I aspired to claim the discovery of the speed of non-physical thought as my own. I was disheartened to learn that a similar breakthrough had occurred just five years prior to my own findings. Alas, so much for recognition!
However, I found solace in the fact that the Chinese physicists possessed far superior mathematical skills and equipment than I did. Although my research hinted at faster-than-light communication, they were able to provide a more definitive figure.
I had even envisioned naming it "Mark's Constant." Unfortunately, I discovered that the speed of quantum entanglement isn't a fixed value either. It turns out that 3 trillion meters per second is merely the slowest speed at which quantum entanglement operates. The interaction between particles can become even faster with more engagement.
Feline Kingdom of Sirius
Sirius A is approximately 4 light years away from Earth, much like Alpha Centauri. Sirius B, reputedly home to the majestic Feline Kingdom ruled by cats, lies at about 9 light years from us. Queen Miss Buttercup Snowflake could make the journey to Earth in just about 10 minutes aboard her speedy interstellar ship.
Her formidable army of 15-foot tall feline warriors could arrive to feast upon us in the same timeframe, potentially quicker than our authorities could respond to the situation.

Thus, it's wise to treat cats with reverence. They are here on a diplomatic mission to gather information. You represent humanity, and if you wish to avoid becoming a meal for advanced interstellar cats, it’s prudent to behave accordingly.
