"something" means a specific physical object, so stuff like a shadow <https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SpeedOfLight/FTL.html#3> wouldn't count, right?
Also, "surpasses the speed of light" means a spacelike worldline, so stuff like a silly frame of reference <https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SpeedOfLight/FTL.html#14> wouldn't count, right?
