How to Break the Speed of Light

The video challenges the notion of a cosmic speed limit by explaining that while nothing with real mass can exceed the speed of light, images can appear to do so. Using a laser pointer aimed at the moon, the spot of light can move across the moon's surface faster than light, similar to how images move on a computer screen. This phenomenon doesn't violate physical laws as it's the image, not physical matter, that moves faster.
