I have a button, exactly one light year and 3 centimeters away from my position.

I then Construct a pole that is one light year long.

I proceed to push the light year long pole into the button, one light year away.

I've just sent information faster than the speed of light.

Why hasn't anyone thought of this? This is ground breaking. :ohhh:

Discuss.

no, you haven't and I can prove it to you if you are game
tell me the diameter of the pole and what it is made out of and how much weight you can push with your finger and i can prove to you why not

Carbyne 1 inch diameter. I won't be pushing. A high powered machine would do it.

You're looking too much into it. Just know that it's capable to get the job done.
there is no such machine bud
that's why it can't be done
measure the inertia of the pole and you will see why
