big hoovie: the only problem with your last statement is the word "particle". I believe you meant "photon" ? The instantaneous accleration of a particle to and above the speed of light IS one of many "Holy Grail"s in physics. Although it is sought after by use of devices such as a particle accelerator like the one at Lawrence-Livermore, it is apparent that it is nearly impossable to achieve, and if possable would require vast amounts of energy to propigate a wave derived from such particles.
