I will explain the lighthouse paradox assuming I understand it. Imagine a triangle. Now imagine I wave my hand at a angle from left to right to make a triangle. The beginning of the triangle is smaller at the start than at the v- shape at the end. Similar to the link. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... gram.png00 (Link referred to)
This will cause the light to go faster than the speed of light in a straight line because the light is not traveling across in a straight line. Like stated earlier it is traveling in a v-shape. This does not violate relativity because ftl travel has to go in a straight line.
Did I explain it well?
I highly recommend reading and watching the YouTube video for clarification.

My other question needs an explanation. I have 2 particles that are about to be quantum entangled.
The laser starts at one particle and destroys the other when it lands on it. The laser creates a v-shape and the particles are arranged in a straight line. This is similar to the lighthouse paradox. The particles could be on the moon and the laser could be in someone hand on earth.
Since the light from your hand is moving incredible fast could you do a test and see if the laser in your hand is faster than the the signal from the entangled particles on the moon? Just a reminder I am destroying one of the entangled particles.
Also is there a speed limit of the lighthouse paradox? What is the fastest and slowest the speed the lighthouse can occur at?
What is everyone thoughts on this post?
Did I explain that well? Feel free to ask for clarification on anything.
Also keep your responses simple because I am easily confused.
