ABSTRACT: Classical Mechanics using Einstein’s theories of relativity places a limit on speed as the speed of light. Quantum Mechanics has no such limitation. To understand space accelerating faster than the speed of light and information being exchanged instantaneously between two entangled electrons separated by huge distances, one uses Planck’s length, Planck’s time, and Planck’s mass to indicate that space and time are discrete and therefore along with masses smaller than Planck’s mass are Quantum Mechanical in nature. Faster than the speed of light c = 3 × 108 m/s is a classical effect only in dimensions of space lower than our 3-D Universe, but it is a Quantum effect in all dimensions of space. Because space can oscillate sending out ripples from the source, it is the medium used for transporting light waves and gravity waves.
