The only way that an observer can see a message arrive first before it was sent is if that message was also faster than light.
The propagation of the information that the signal was sent will be travelling before the information of the result starts to propagate. So even if the message is sent equal to light speed, there’s only one point on the two expanding spheres where the cause and effect appear simultaneously. That message you’re observing would have to move quicker than light for any observer to be overlapped by the effect bubble before the cause bubble reaches them. Both of those bubbles expand at the same rate.
How are you beating an ftl signal with your own ftl signal if you’re relying on information that is moving at light speed to react to?



I think the same thing about the service reps.
Have you tried rebooting your router?
We’ll send someone out to check your wires.
3 transfers later your router was registered to a different region in our system, it’ll take a day for the transfer of these 16 bits to happen.
