From: Jon Webb <Webb at Cmu-20c> No, I think this is an OK form of FTL travel. It is allowed in Einstein's theories to travel faster than light; what you can't do is send information faster than light. So you could have, say, an electron taking an FTL Brownian-motion path through the universe as long as the speed from its starting point to its ending point is less than c. The only problem with this method for FTL travel is that you can't predict where you'll end up, and you tend to get all your molecules scrambled up pretty fast. Jon
