P-waves

The Russian faster-than-light "P-waves" that Mr. Bidlack wrote about are pure fantasy, but there are legitimate P-waves (Primary waves) in seismology, where they are used to characterize earthquakes. Real P-waves are not faster than light.

What about Q, R, S, and T waves? They're used in cardiology. ;)
