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.

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.

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

Buckminster Fuller has a "No Second-Hand G-d", it kind of
reflects that no mundane thing is divine.
