What is the speed of thought?
Is thought faster than light?
Is light a particle or a wave?
The speed of conscious thought (thought translated into the physical reality) is constrained to a speed limit defined by the number of pulses per second at which the brain is functioning, the speed of electricity through a neuron, and how many "units of thought information" can be translated into pulses per second, as well as how many pulses per second are required for each "slice of conscious awareness". Since we have no way to measure units of thought, the equation resulting would always produce meaningless answers.
The speed of thought unrestrained by limitations of translating it into the physical is unrestrained.
Consciousness translated into the physical is very slow. Nonphysical awareness is easily faster than light, as again, it is unrestrained.
Light is neither a wave nor a particle, but it appears to be one or the other depending on how you observe it because of the limits of the dimensions we are capable of perceiving through the limited physical nervous system.
I believe that science will eventually realize that "you can't go faster than light" is laughably wrong, and that faster than light speed is not just possible, but very common. There is something that has been deeply misunderstood at a fundamental level somewhere, or there is some variable that hasn't been discerned yet, or both, which will eventually reveal that to be the case.
