Naw, Charles; most of us legal types don't do all that well with the special theory of relativity. When the Deaf Monk's wire gets cranked up to faster than the speed of light(tough job), time will start running backwards. If you listen carefully you'll notice that the music is also playing backwards.
I thought he actually said you would just cease to exist as the particles would lose structure at that speed? Now at "near" the speed of light the issue is relative to the observer. The observer would see the wires moving forward in time at a rapid pace, but the Monk riding on the wire would see...Elvis?...never mind, I just froze my own brain.
I read a biography on Einstein and found he could explain it much better than I could remember it.
Shocking, right?
