“It is therefore best not to try to drink your sloshing coffee on a roller coaster, making B the best answer. Although surely you are tough enough to endure the occasional hot splash of java, your roller-coastering neighbors might not be as tough as you. They might volunteer to you, perhaps unsolicited, perhaps loudly, their opinions about being splashed by your hot coffee. Also, after the ride, looking at your clothes, your friends might think you wet yourself.”
Robert J. Nemiroff, Faster than Light: How Your Shadow Can Do It but You Can't

“The speed of light is a local limit only. Within gravity, as portrayed by Einstein’s general theory of relativity, it is possible to take a train, for example, that eventually moves away from the train station at faster than light, at least faster than the local speed of light.”
