I keep reading that Einstein said nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. But there is evidence of speed faster than the speed of light. Communication, for example, travels faster than light speed. There is plenty of evidence that is observable and replicable in quantum physics that demonstrates this. I realize that wasn't what Einstein was talking about but he was not all knowing and there is plenty that we can learn by looking past what he discovered.


There is a lot of prose in the lay press which is very distorted on this subject. There are a couple things in particular that keep getting reported as "faster than light".
Communication definitely does not travel faster than light, I think you may have misread on of the articles. They are often written in a sensational way, usually about combining slowed light beams in a refractive medium.
