Hi init 3,

You quoted Professor Davies at,
http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/asiapcf/auspac/08/07/australia.lightspeed/
Saying,
" That means giving up the theory of relativity and
  Energy = Relativistic_Mass * c ^ 2
  and all that sort of stuff,"

But you conveniently omitted
what Davies said immediately after that:
" But of course it doesn't mean
  we just throw the books in the bin, because
  it's in the nature of scientific revolution that
  the old theories become incorporated in the new ones. "

And Davies is dead on... For example,
  Newton is Still right after all these centuries...
  Einstein's relativity merely refined it, nothing more.

  And what a very fine ( thin ) tweak it was too...
  It only applies to objects that are almost
  infinitely more or less massive compared to humans.
  ( e.g. photons and black holes )

Likewise, professor Davies' theory is
  an even finer tweak,
  i.e. for objects that are even more massive,
  compared to humans,
  such as at the very start of the big bang.
  ( Which start is relative to us humans, of course )

You then added,
" It totally fits my cosmology.
  I always felt that Einstein was
  not much more than a *traffic* *cop*
  who wanted to prevent
  the implications of quantum reality
  from entering common knowledge.
  So he placed Newtonian barriers like E=mc(2) on us. "

That's relativistic mass, which is not at all Newtonian.

  And, contrary to what many idiots think,
  Einstein was the main founder of quantum physics...
  hardly an antagonist.

What confuses the peanut gallery is that Einstein
  ( like most cosmologists then and now )
  simply believed that randomness was
  nothing more than a lack of information.

You concluded,
" Now the *** has hit the fans
  and we're right around the corner from teleportation.

  The /spooky/ question is: What was Einstein scared of ? "

Things like quantum tunneling are
  only about incomplete information...
  information that is missing due to speed,
  tininess, remoteness, etc.

And as such, they do not relate to our reality, as humans.
