maximum speed of virtual particles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

though a vaccum its or 299 792 458 m/s this can be shortened or rounded to 300 to solve for Lambda

OpenStudy (anonymous):

technically speaking you can go faster than light...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If we say that a virtual particle for gravity is a graviton, then due to its lack of mass it can and by the SubQuantum Kinetics theory do have a velocity hundreds of times faster than light. Although in SQ-K there is no graviton, an effective gravitational wave moves faster than light.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sub-quantum kinetics though is not considered by most physicists as being a correct formulation of nature. In most conventional physics, the speed of virtual particles measured in any inertial system will not exceed that of light.
