For those unfamiliar with the Speed of Light theory: OK, so if one is looking at a clock, we see the second hand ticking around and around. Why we see this is because the light bouncing off of the clock is constantly feeding our eyes (and therefore brains) seperate images of a changing clock. Now, as most of you know, a standing theory is that if you were going at the speed of light the images couldn't catch up to you and time would stop (faster=back in time, etc.).
For the rest of you: Now, say you have two buildings: A launcher and a reciever. The L (launcher) has one red button that sends a small object flying FASTER than the speed of light towards R (reciever). The very moment the object hits R a green light comes on next to the red button.
Now, here's my big question: You go to push the button, but before you do the light must go on (FASTER than the speed of light). What would happen if you were to decide not to push it after all? How can light predict the future? Please answer.

If the green light came on before you pressed the button, there seems to be no need of this "button" in the first place, because it wouldn't be plausible for the green light to turn on unless the L had already sent the object to the R.
I don't believe that anyone or anything can predict the future, they can only guess correctly or incorrectly. Because the future does not exist until it is made. However, if it doesn't exist, it is incredibly unlikely that it can be created, seeing that we are unable to create or destroy matter, only change it's state.
This topic is difficult because you are treating the future as an absolute, when it is in fact an idea seeing that it doesn't exist until it is the present and then past.
