not uninteresting on light, speed of, and shadows for AtD readers

yea, I guess, dunno...
  I sorta read it as an extended Pynchon-like metaphor...

  Does this "theory" make any sense?  If light's absence "makes" a shadow on some surface, any "movement" of that shadow will be dependent on change in the the light being projected onto that surface.  The author's example of a spinning image moving faster at the periphery makes no sense unless that wheel is spinning at the speed of light, right?

It's quite easy to conjure up a faster-than-light shadow, at least in theory.
