Could spirit travel faster than the speed of light?

Would spirit conform to Einsteins theory of relativity and travel slower or nearly as fast as light? Could it pass light in velocity as it travels towards...?
The idea came when i asked myself a question.

" Could a spirit fly under a rainbow?"

Thank you for your time

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but I think that a ghostly spirit can project itself to where it want to be. And I don't think that a spirit necessarily travel to go anywhere, they just project themselves to there.

 

Yes. So therefore spirit could project, that is to say think itself to be moving forward at the speed of thought which would be faster than the speed of light. Thank you for answering my question.

Peace

 

Well...the cosmic speed limit is the speed of light...so far we have no proof of actual SPIRITS being an energy form other than a sort of communication(?) between other humans.

Spirit as far as ghosts and stuff are still so understudied that the question would be hard to answer. There is no definite answer as to if those spirits have some other energy about them besides light, magnetic, and a temperature as those are often recorded around spirit sightings.

I think that the possibility of there being an energy out there that is faster than light is reasonable. We have no idea the size of the universe. There could be some crazy crazy things out there - and there most assuredly are. And what about other realities? String/M theory says "Yes!"

 

What is the definition of spirit? A spirit as in the surviving ego after death of the body (a ghost)? Spirit as consciousness released from its body?

My initial reaction would be that spirit, consciousness or whatever you'd call it, wouldn't travel through space in the same manner as conventional matter, so the question is moot.

You said.
"Spirit wouldn't travel through space in the same manner as conventional matter".
Would the 'conventional manner' mean the restriction of matter in relation to the speed of light?
How long can we debate unanswerable questions for?

 

Well, everything in space is matter. Light is matter. Whether or not consciousness or "spirit" is matter is certainly something we could not answer at present time. My (key word, again) thought would be that it would not have matter and not exist in a similar way as conventional matter, and as such, it would not travel through space at all. Again, the definition of spirit is important to clarify. I have a feeling mine differs from yours.

You're right, though - we can't really debate unanswerable questions with anything but assumption and guesswork. So why pose an unanswerable question in the first place?

 

Physical laws only apply to physical things. Eventhough the lowest form of spirit (astral), does behave largely according to physical law because of it's proximity to the physical world.

The higher the frequency of the spirit, the less laws act upon it.

Free spirits make their own laws as a part of their ability to create.

Time, space, distance, all illusion.

In the spirit realm, speed is a moot point.

so I guess if there were any Christians at Hiroshima when it was bombed, somehow their souls managed to reach heaven even though they died at the speed of light

 

You can die at the speed of light, but you cannot live that slowly.

Ah... Opinions. Gotta love em. Why pose an unanswerable question? Well my cat died and that evening day there was this amazing high definition double rainbow and I wondered if rainbows could be portals to the higher planes and questioned if spirits could be the only things with the capacity to achieve this feat, that is to say, find the pot of gold at the end. Fantastical and entirely unanswerable but it did put me at peace of mind with my recently departed companion.

 

.

I dont think a spirit can be confirmed or denied by relativity.

in fact, i see no connection between the two. (Spirits and speed of light that is)

 

I agree on the opinions stated above... some comical, others offer some insight, but lacking... and you're not going to find any gold from a rainbow... just mythology, but still fun to read...

As for the original question, the speed of light doesn't apply to Spirit because it's not light... it's Thought, or as mentioned, a higher conscious, and it is in the Astral Realms, which is the realm of thought, and it's beyond speed of sound or light, but rather instantanous.

The Astral realm exists everywhere, and that within can move between the realms of life and death. Such as seeing a spirit or ghosts for a moment as they cross between the realms, sometimes as a spirit orb floating about, or a larger image like a person and such.

Hope that helps ya a bit, read up more if ya want...

Peace everyone,
Spirit Wynd

 

!!!! Happened!. A photo taken of myself the night of the 'transition' clearly depicts a smoky haze sitting on my lap with the features of my cat. The photograph taker said "that smoke looks really cool" and i wasn't even smoking. Death is but the next step I guess.
F*ck Absolutes.

Peace

 

yeah spirit isn't bound by the law of physics

 

Spirit is light.

 

really? I'd have thought the laws of physics operate on spirits at a different level. The neat thing about the dimensions in our universe is that they get really weird once you go a lot smaller...

anywho I don't believe spirits travel, they experience..kinda like gravity.

There is entanglement in nature, and that leads to information travelling FTL (faster than light) which was proved last year i think. I think we never actually know each other, just about each other...and that comes from information, to me its reasonable to say that ones soul can relay information with entanglement.

The neat thing is that in nature, matter becomes entangled and can share exaperiences over great distance and time...so in theory, you may not be experiencing your dead cat, but rather your alive cat in the past

 

spirits travel as fast as i can drink them...they make me drunk and they'd get into fights with jose, jim, and jack. so i usually just kick them all out the way they came in.

 

I would just say initially to me, a spirit is a non physical entity, light is that of physical existence. To me they seem like 2 incomparable things.

 

How exactly is light physical?
