I don't understand how there can be plane waves that by definition are spread through all of space if nothing can travel faster than light. Wouldn't every wave have to spread over time with at most the speed of light? I could understand when they are only appearing in the mathematics of calculating waves, but isn't it common to talk about light or photons in terms of plane waves?
