Nope. As said before, atoms can't push each other faster than the speed of light (or so Einstein says), so it would take at least eight minutes for the pole to move, then another eight for you to actually see it move.
Actually, if you put any stock in space-time diagrams, relativity, or pretty much any other current theory of how things work, then yes, a signal travelling faster than light will travel backwards in time. Anyway...
Actually, the time would be a complex number, according to Einstein's equation that I've mentioned above, T'=T(1-V^2/C^2)^(1/2). Einstein actually hypothesized that the speed of light can't be surpassed, and mathematically, his equation, which has been tested and proven to be accurate, supports this hypothesis.
I think Einstein's theroy of relativity also says something about this. How about T'=T(1-V^2/C^2)^(1/2)? According to this equation, a mathematical impossibility would arise if V > C (velocity > the speed of light) since the expression inside the radical would be negative, and square roots of negatives aren't real numbers. Just a thought.

Another problem we have is the emphasis on the other person being "cute." Maybe that's why so many relationships fail today. When your s/o no longer looks good enough or you can find someone who looks better, you dump them. Sad.

Try explaining this to a white guy(no! I'm not racist...it's just the culture gap). I tried explaining why such a marriage would work to a couple of friends, but it was beyond their realm of comprehension. Interestingly, among the couples I know, those who had "arranged" marriages tend to have happier relationships, probably because the superficiality of dating relationships,in which seeming attractive is the top priority, is not present.

Not really.
Ha Ha. Somebody moderate this up. Of course, since moderators are so stupid, they'll mark it offtopic.
frickin wussy ACs-why don't you show you have balls and stop hiding? goddangit, this is abuse of the AC system.

Nope. Read the posts about special relativity.
You're right. The effect is just not so noticeable in the glass situation.

But how about having complex values for time? Correct me if I'm wronng, but this doesn't make sense.
