Case in point, everyone knows that the velocity of light (c) is the

Some wise old philosopher might have said, if someone tries to sell
you an FTL car, don't bet the farm on it.
Your 100 MBPS in 100 khz scheme works out about the same way.
It is the exact equivalent of those little pills you drop into
the gas tank of your car, and then get 100 MPG from water.
However, there is one difference. I can purchase those pills,
test them, and destroy my engine while getting 10 MPG :-)
I cannot purchase the magic "Shannon violating channel".
As a side note, strings are not yet a GUT, other than on fiddles.
