Say you are sitting in the last car of a 300m long train that is about to leave a station. Assuming that all the cars are rigidly joint, as soon the engine starts moving you get that information - that the train started moving - instantaneously. Now consider a rigid wire 300,000 km long that you are holding up at one of its ends. As soon as some one pulls the wire at the other end you will notice it instantaneously as well, the information flowed at >>300,000 km/sec.
If the piece of wire was N-times longer than that, the information that someone is pulling it at the far end would have traveled N-times faster than the speed of light.
Conclusion:
The speed the information that travels from point A to point B does not depend upon the space-time parameters because the speed of ligth is no longer a border condition.
This makes sense on the application of Ruppert Sheldrake's theory about the Morfogenetic Fields.

This is true that it does not depend on space-time parameters, but what you are measuring isn't even speed. Nothing is moving, no particles, etc., nice try but no.

Hi. Some of the same effects can be observed by "entanglement" of photons. The problem is that no information gets transferred. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement If you watch a pair of scissors close, there is a point where the intersection point of the two blades travels at any speed, including faster than light. But the intersection contains no information. Morphogenetic fields seem to be more biological. http://www.answers.com/topic/morphogenetic-field

Bad assumption. The information that the train is moving travels at the speed of a stress wave propagating through the train. That happens to be the speed of sound in the materail that the train is made of.

Man you speeded that information faster than I needed to know. Thank you Mr. Gonzales.

speed of information is not faster than speed of light
