Faster than light

If you are not moving the information from point to point instantaneously then you are not communicating instantaeneously. duh. Then its not called

MightyPenguin:
Let's consider that (as far as I know, it sounds a bit dodgy to me) an object moving faster than light is technically going backwards in time.
So in theory the arrow could arrive 20^202 years + 1 second before you fired it, and you would see the arrow hit before you fired it.
EDIT: Bots, you asked what comunicating instantly had to do with ftl. I told you.
Botsareus:
But what happend to that " inertial frame " rule

suddenly stuff like that dont apply ?
MightyPenguin:
You lost me. You're talking to a guy who is working from a basis of second year high school physics and cool shit scrounged from the odd science book/journal.
EDIT: I wikied it and I know what you're talking about now. Tell me what the paradox has to do with arrows moving backwards in time.
Botsareus:
lol you say: "an object moving faster than light is technically going backwards in time" Well no, an object moving faster then light only ages slower so it has nothing to do with it.
So I say: "New Twin Rule"
Lets make more stuff up :)
