But of course, it doesn't travel at all through vacuum.
Anyway, since the topic is drifting a bit, I'd point out that Terry
Pratchett has a model for FTL communication somewhere in his Discworld
novels: Royalty
When a king dies, kingship is passed on *immediately* to his
successor, no matter the distance. How, exactly, this is to be
implemented in a communications system is unclear.
