In one episode (can't rember the name but its where Jim gets sped up by a group of people who live at a time rate faster than ours) we see that the phasor beam travels at a mere crawl compared to the energy weapon used by the heavies. Since all thru the episode the conversations of the people who are living faster still can be detected (as the sound of an insect) by normal people we have a definite statement that the speed of light is not violated. jeanette zobjeck ihnp4!wlcrjs!zubbie ....but Jim, they called the Enterprise a "GARBAGE SCOW"
