MuadDib, let me try again, because you (and others) aren't getting the point of the original question. Grab a pair of scissors. Open them partway. Put a pencil in between the blades as close to the handles as you can. Now open the scissors further, and see that you can put the pencil in further. That is the "point" Jaseca is talking about.
Now take out the pencil and close the scissors slowly. Notice that the "moving point" moves faster than the tips of the blades. Extrapolate to light speed. Explain.
