The Speed of Light in Physics
The speed at which an electron can move through the structure of space is on average at most the speed of light. It's basically because every little effect of one atom of space on the neighboring atoms of space to which it's connected, there's a certain elementary time that it takes. But if you could deconstruct that electron into just some pattern of atoms of space that would sort of fit through that space tunnel,. then you might be able to get the atom of space, get the electron to the other side of the space tunnel and to somewhere different in space more quickly than ordinary motion does. That technology far in our future - we are probably about 10 times or something bigger than the atoms of
