I have my doubts as to whether this will ever happen due to the mass theories, and the energy required to even attempt such a feat. What is your opinion, and do you have theories as to how this might be achieved? I like Science Fiction, etc., but I just don't think it will ever happen.

Well we certainly cannot do it by advancing our current technologies, but I bet it's possible. But can you imagine how dangerous that would be? It would have to be steered automatically, because our brains cannot process enough images to steer the thing manually, so we'd crash almost instantly!

You are right. It is never going to happen. Factor in resources, strength of materials, money, the human body, speeds, trajectories, gravity, etc. etc. etc... there is no way we'll ever pull it off. MAYBE an unmanned vessel, but even that is a real long shot.

according to the theory or relativity nothing can move as fast as the speed of light, the theory has been through incredible testing and shown to be right so far, no matter how fast you are moving a light wave is always moving at the speed of light which is strange since if a car was moving 10 miles an hour and you were running at 5 miles an hour the car would only be moving away from you at a rate of 5 miles per hour that does not apply with light hence the theory of special relativity........the light barrier is a universal that can never be broken......although we may one day be able to bend space time and rip a hole in it........the fastest way between 2 points on a paper is not a straight line but to bend the paper point to point

I like to think that it will be possible int the futrue. But first of all you would have to me taken apart to the neutrons, protons and electrons that make you up, only in this state can you travel the speaed of lite and faster. Time travel would only be into the furure, and it would be impossible to go back to where you started from or into the past.
This is wha tI have heard, it doesnt seem like it will happen soon, maybe not even in 100 years, but I like to think that people will find a way to travel all around time, like we traavel through space now. No one though that we could make it to the Moon or anywhee else, and we have! Who knows what new technologies will come about in the furture and new discoveries. |

I think it is possible, but highly unlikely...But that doesn't mean space travel is out! Think of the possibilities of Near-Light travel! Time dilation could be a huge advantage to the intrepid space nomads...Clean up on long term investments, terraform planets on the fly and return in 5 years your time 5,000 years planet time!
I think if FTL becomes a reality it will be something science pulls accidentally out of something seemingly unrelated to thrust / mass=velocity, I don't think we're looking in the right direction just yet. |

I thought it was physically impossible to even travel at the speed of light, let alone faster than it. The only way we might be able to travel over long distances quickly is through worm holes, or bending of space and time itself. Think of time as the fourth dimension, if we could somehow manipulate this we could travel any where fast, but this is something we cannot even begin to comprehend at this point in human existance. Look up time travel and light travel on the net, you'll find some really interesting stuff.
