Faster than the speed of light... - Off-Topic

I think i found a way to actually move faster than the determined speed of light. Imagine a river, or a waterfall, flowing at the same speed, all the time. Now when the river gets streamed into a smaller place to flow through, it has to utilize more pressure to make the same amount of water flow through there. So heres my theory, what if we would take a normal light (such as the light of a light bulp or a flashlight) and take away the other options to where it could shine to, spread. Simply concentrating the light in one line, doing the same as with the river. (Virtually speaking, as i later found out, is the same as the already invented "Laser")

Now, in my theory, a laser is faster than the speed of light. And could be measured in a new kind of Richter scale

As in : LS001
LS002

Etc. (LS being Laser Speed, the numerics standing for the magnitude of compression making it flowing in a faster motion)

Well, correct me if I'm wrong...

Too complicated for me

Now all that we need to do is measure a laser...

whether or not you use a focused bean or not it wont increased the speed because pressure and gravity dont apply to Light. So... your theory imo is incorrect

Forever and I discussed this in the thread Zoom vs. Spider-Man. We came up with multiple theories but I don't yours would work, light doesn't behave like water.

Well, for the sake of argument lets say we're in Zero Gravity (space)

Actually, if you bundle light, you can see it manifest itself. So it does, plus the heat that is carried through, increases as well.

Looks like i'm 50 years late lol there already is such a thing, called a "tachyon"
