Maybe, but your point is nothing more than heresay.

The speed of light constraint also has nothing to do with light, it is the speed of information travel.

What is being proposed by ubeam is like lifting a 50 ton rocket with 10 tons of thrust. It doesn't really matter what future physics we have, fundamentally its impossible as stated. Bringing future physics into the mix is moving goalposts in an attempt to appear open minded. The rockets never going to lift off with 1/5 of its mass in thrust.

I had no point other than exactly what I stated. I am not contesting the infeasibility of uBeam.
