Discworld
The only things known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Weedle. He reasoned like this: you can’t have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles — kingons, or possibly queons — that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed. — Discworld success What do you think, said Death. Am I really here, boy? “Yes,” said Mort slowly. “II’ve watched people. They look at you but they don’t see you, I think. You do something to their minds.” Death shook his head. They do it all themselves, he said. There’s no magic. People can’t see me, they simply won’t allow themselves to do it. Until it’s time, of course. Wizards can see me, and cats. But your average humanno, never. He blew a smoke ring at the sky, and added, Strange but true. — Discworld death
