It's a good question. My understanding is the flashlight wouldn't emit a beam of light and that neither photons nor particles of matter can exceed the speed of light. However, recent research seems to suggest that information (in the experiment in question, it's information shared between two entangled photons) can exceed the speed of light. And that begs the question what is the information their sharing made from?

Here's an article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

If we could somehow understand it and employ it to move real life matter, interstellar travel may become a reality.
