Lastly, as far as the action at a distance issue, there is no reason why God cannot not perform actions faster than the speed of light given His ability to do the miraculous, His omnipresence, His omnipotence and the fact He is the creator of time itself.

== Paradoxes ==
I've added a section on paradoxes as part of the process of tidying up another article, and so have included the three that were mentioned there. However, I'm at a loss to understand "Force Perpendicular to Direction of Motion" issue. Thus I would be very pleased - for my own benefit as well as for the completeness of the article - for a reference or explanation.
What I really don't get is that Special Relativity relates to the physics of objects travelling at different relative velocities, and to the differences they observe, particularly in regard to themselves and each other. The problem is that a force doesn't have a velocity, so the concept of relativistic effects based around the relative velocity of the force and an object is meaningless. Certainly the effect of the force will be perceived differently by an observer riding on the moving object and one in a different inertial frame, but that's nothing to do with the direction of the force.
Moreover, it has to be said that the physics of forces lateral to high speed objects has been very closely studied. It is precisely what goes on inside both the cyclotron and the synchrotron, and indeed it is the relativistic effects on particles in the cyclotron that causes the device not to work at high energies, hence its replacement by the synchrotron (and various other accelerators).
But to summarize - any expansion on the nature of this anomaly would be greatly appreciated. --[[User:QPR|QPR]] 11:22, 4 December 2011 (EST)
