What "problem" are you talking about? (Please don't quote Einstein, because he explicitly predicted that particles and information can travel faster than the speed of light).
A 2008 quantum physics experiment also performed by Nicolas Gisin and his colleagues in Geneva, Switzerland has determined that the "speed" of the quantum non-local connection (what Einstein called spooky action at a distance) is at least 10,000 times the speed of light.
. . . according to the general theory of relativity, the law of the constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the special theory of relativity [. . .] cannot claim any unlimited validity. A curvature of rays of light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light varies with position.
… there is also an amplitude for light to go faster (or slower) than the conventional speed of light. You found out in the last lecture that light doesn't go only in straight lines; now, you find out that it doesn't go only at the speed of light! It may surprise you that there is an amplitude for a photon to go at speeds faster or slower than the conventional speed, c.[35]
– Richard Feynman
Therefore, one of the consequences of special relativity is that (assuming causality is to be preserved), no information or material object can travel faster than light. On the other hand, the logical situation is not as clear in the case of general relativity, so it is an open question whether there is some fundamental principle that preserves causality (and therefore prevents motion faster than light) in general relativity.

This thread has certainly swerved from the original post. Not that it was worth a hoot. "I don't believe in aliens!" And 25 pages ensue.
The Nephilim are the weeds among us that will soon be rooted out. Christ came to take away the sins of his sheep and to open the spiritual door. It’s like an animal breeder who had a truckload of purebred dogs. Driving through the city he meets a terrible accident and all the dogs escape into the streets. Now it is up to the driver to seek out the lost valuable dogs and bring them back to the kennel. There is a problem though. In the alleyways are mean vicious strays that consider the streets as being theirs. As time goes by, the purebreds start to mingle with the strays and have pups. So now it is very hard to tell them apart from each other. The driver now calls out to the purebreds. They hear his voice and come running to him because they know his voice. The stray dogs that hear the driver’s call begin to snarl and froth at the mouth. They begin to growl and hide in the shadows because they don’t know his voice. In the end the entire purebred-elect dogs and all their elect pups are rounded up to be fed and to have their wounds healed. The rabid stray dogs are gathered up and put down. Because of Christ's sacrifice, we are now being called back to our Father in heaven. "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." John 10:26-28 The Nephilim do not hear his voice and hate Christ with all that they have. They are not called to repentance but called to judgement and knowing this they hide in the shadows. I highly suspect that there were and still are many Nephilim hybrids that are part of Israel as well as the rest of the world.
It always puzzled me how the Jews after being saved through the parting of the red sea could start to sin on the other side. They with their own eyes saw one of the greatest miracles ever seen, and what was their reaction? It was to eat, drink, and make merry. They began to build a golden calf to worship their real father from hell. As we can see from the statues of the giant kings, Nephilim giants, human/animal hybrids, and the Stargods/fallen angels ruled Egypt. Israel was always warned not intermarry with the nations, but this is what they did. The end result being that Israel became even more rebellious.
I used to think that God was cruel for condemning Israel to roam the wilderness for forty years simply because they were naturally afraid of the giants they were told to conquer, (Numbers 14:1). Because of this, God sent them to the wilderness for forty years to punish them. I always found this rather harsh behaviour for just feeling fearful. But there is more to this story. I get the feeling that the Jews were no longer pure and in fact they were Nephilim from cross breeding, something they were told never to do. Shocking statement I know, but let's go to the scripture. In Num. 14:24 it states, "But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it."
Notice that Caleb had a different spirit. From this scripture we can assume that Moses too had a different spirit. God declared to Moses that even though the Jews were forgiven, they were all sentenced to die in the wilderness. Jesus on the cross forgave all those who were killing him, but most were still hell bound. God says to Moses in verse 27, "How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me." Notice here that God calls them evil. Obviously they were of another spirit. He said that their carcasses would lie in the open wilderness to be consumed. This is the same punishment that will be given to the Nephilim, (mighty men) in Rev 19:18. Also Jesus in referring to demons stated "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none." Luke 11:24. Israel was sentenced to 40 years to the wilderness. This reminds me of when God destroyed the Nephilim giants with a flood, he caused it to rain 40 days and nights. Note too that in the book of Numbers Israel “murmured against the Lord.” I see this as an expression of their deep hatred for God. Another reason that they may have not wanted to war with the giants was because they were of the same seed, kissing cousins if you will. Hard to say, but it's clear to see that God wanted to weed out the bad seeds because his people were victims of the mingling of seed and became the children of the damned.
In contrast look at David. David was quick to take on the giant Goliath and did not hesitate as Israel did. If Israel was of the right seed they would, they would of ran into battle against the giants with no hesitation at all. They would have loved their Lord and not snarled against him and build a golden calf to worship. They after building the calf began to drink and orgy. All through the Old Testament one can see where God is continually weeding out the bad seeds from Israel. With us today God is weeding out the seed of the flesh with all born-again believers in Christ. So has God given up on Israel? God forbid! God has reserved 144,000 Jewish virgins that are of a pure bloodline that will preach salvation to Israel during the last half of the Tribulation.
