   I just got a strike of inspiration.   
      
   We all know of the Casimir effect where plates are pushed together by vacuum   
   fluctuations, aka particles that pop in and out of existence.   
      
   What if these particles don't pop in and out, but really vibrate along the w   
   axis, a fourth spacial dimension perpendicular to the x, y and z axis's.   
      
   If we could determine the frequency of these vibrations, we should be able to   
   amplify them, and thus send a signal in the fourth dimension.   
      
   Perhaps speed of light is infinite if we go far enough that way. This would   
   allow FTL communication without causal violations.   
      
   A large array of these could send a directional signal, and also listen for   
   anyone else out there.
