<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=2 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Can information be transmitted faster than the speed of light according to GR and if that's the case is it possible that instead of the force itself, the information about the force is transmitted, a sort of teletransporting?<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>
In our interpretation of GR, both forces and information can be transmitted much faster than light. In the customary interpretation, neither is possible. The new technical paper, “Experimental Repeal of the Speed Limit for Gravitational, Electrodynamic, and Quantum Field Interactions”, by T. Van Flandern and J.P. Vigier, in Foundations of Physics v. 32(#7), pp. 1031-1068 (2002), deals with precisely this issue, and argues for the new interpretation.
Similar papers dealing with the "speed of gravity" issue appear on this web site. -|Tom|-

Basically, there's always an aberration between light and gravity of moving source. One can encode the info by this aberration, transfer will be ftl. Hence, there's nothing in the GR itself that really forbids ftl info. I.e. the spacetime is bent near-instantly, up to the precision of small radiative term. But the mechanism described requires an "intelligent receiver" and pre-established one-way communication transmitter-receiver.
