Snip for length.
Joao Magueijo expains it in a very easy to understand manner in Faster Than The Speed of Light: The Story of a Scientific Speculation. It includes a fair bit of 'clutter' to ease the concept for people who aren't too into physics, but it still explains most of it in nice detail. It's a theory that is IIRC unproven, but also unchallenged. These developments might have transformed the hypothesis into a candidate for a theorem.
As for info, not exactly. I'm talking about the idea that information doesn't decay or succumb to entropy, which emerged as a way to try and explain the time traveling paradox of an eternally traveling piece of info in the real world and which has far-reaching applications. We're not entirely sure how space folding will work yet (which was what I was taking about), and one of the theories about it is you can delete and restore matter at the same time, but that the new piece of matter will lack the information of the previous one, which is a huge problem.
To rephrase what newbie said in his two last points for everybody else: Point A says that light isn't going faster, but you are *perceiving* it as "going faster", if I read him correctly. Which sounds about right. Part B is mostly just an ownage of CM, though also an interesting explanation of dark matter. I think he's missing an explanation of how dark matter is potentially part of a zero-sum equation with the matter we can perceive but otherwise that's it.
