But suppose I change the code after each transmission, that in effect is
what nature is doing, so when you see "two" you won't know if it means land
sea or it's time to wind your wristwatch. In a way you can send a message
faster than light but it's encoded so you don't know what it means and can't
even be sure it is a real message and not just random noise until you
receive the translation key, and that is only generated at the moment of
transmission and must be hand delivered to the receiver at light speed or
less.
