Dr. Hachel represents those problems, too.

They pose the problem of ignorance, because they do not understand at
all the notion of anisochrony, which alone explains the practical impossibility of exceeding the speed of light.

Dr. Hachel is exemplifying his arrogance, pretending that he is God.

It's as absurd as looking for round squares and dehydrated waters.

And blatherating about irrelevant analogies.

I repeat, it's not that it's technologically impossible, it's that it's
 absurd.

“In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.”
– Miguel de Cervantes
 “The most absurd and reckless aspirations have sometimes led to
extraordinary success.” -- Luc de Clapiers
“If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.”
-- Albert Einstein
So certain is Dr. Hachel of his pronouncement from Olympus :-)
"Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd. --
Voltaire

This would amount to assuming a speed faster than an infinitely fast
speed (if we correctly understand this notion which I already explained in 1986).

Nope.  Consider synchronized clocks at x = 0 (t1) and x = L (t2).  A
pulse of particles passes x = 0 at t1 = 0 and passes t2 at time t2.
If t2 - t1 = L/c, then the particles are traveling at the speed of
light.  If t2 - t1 = 0, then the particles are traveling infinitely
fast.  Since t2 - t1 =0 is less than t2 - t1 = L/c, Dr. Hachel's
assertion is refuted.

They pose the problem of arrogance becouse they insult instead of thinking.

R.H.

I'm afraid Dr. Hachel is guilty of not thinking correctly.
