travel at the speed of light?

The Omega explained it all about 10 posts back. We can theoritcally go faster than the speed of light by bending space. Its hard to explain but this might help.

Think of point A and B. Point A is one side of a peice of paper and point B is the other. Instead of just going rite along the paper to the other side u bend it in the middle so the opposite sides r much much closer to each other. I hope u can sort of understand wat im saying. This should be possible someday, far be it for me to say when.

it might also be possible to travel at lightspeeds at EXTREMELY small lengths{where quantum foam forms}, secondly bending space is not exactly an idea that i believe can be discovered in our lifetimes.

Light manages to travel at the speed of light, and its possible to create light. So that means that its possible to create something that travells at the speed of light

I'm pretty sure the Human race will have wiped itself out before then...

but light doesn't have a mass... it is impossible to make something with a mass travel at light speed...

Even if we thought it possible to go the speed of light. It would take a couple hundred years of constant acceleration for a ship to get to that speed due to the fact that the human body can only take so much acceleration at once. Not to mention we would need to find a fuel source that would last long enough to get us there. It won't happen. unless of course we did find a way to negate gravity.... but since we still haven't really figured gravity out (the source of it really) we can't do it. I still found it intregueing that theoritcally if someone threw a grain of sand just right it would orbit you (of course only if there were no other forces acting upon it *cough* the earth's gravitational pull). Well thats my 2C

Theres always solar enegry wich in space it is very plentful

Actually it does..It takes up space so it has mass..I doudt we'll eva move at the speed of light but scientist say it is 'possible' to teleport through wormholes

no ketchuptome light is made up of photons which take up space but do NOT have the property of particles called MASS, photons are massles just like many other particles like gravitons.
n eleven intches, the only thing we can make that travels at lightspeed is photons{light} or magnatism{virtual photons}

To teleport through a wormhole you would need a massive force to push you out the other blackhole.

Center of a wormhole? I think you'll be crushed because of the gravity

We would need a photon generator...

worm holes and black holes are different how exactly? i used to keep up on this stuff now i'm lost..
where's omega when u need her?

Who?? 😕

Einstein didnt say that nothing can travel at the speed of light. He said that nothing can accellerate to the speed of light.

It might be possible to get to 0.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 the speed of light, and then perform a quantum jump to get over 1.0 times the pseed of light, as there would be an uncertainty in your speed, meaning that you could partially be travelling faster than the speed of light

ok, locally we cannot travel at the speed of light, it would require an infant amount of energy (which is not possible). and the laws of general relativity disallow us to travel at C. thus no LOCALLY we cannot.

HOWEVER

by using space time it is possible to travel at speeds as fast or greater then that of light.

this is generally called the "warp drive" by modern physicists. this is not star trek, or is it?

the general principal in ST remains the key. by using some sort of negative energy (negative energy densities) it might be possible to bend space time in-front of the "spaceship" this would leave the ship locally unmoving. and thus it would not violate Einsteins laws. basically u bend or "warp" space time in-front and behind an object. this encompasses it in a local area of spaetime. since space time moves at C then it is possible for the ship to move at C without actually moving at all, technically. ur using space time to move you or "surf" rather then actualy propelling ur ship at C

a good (but a bit physics heavy read) is miguel alcubierre's "The Warp Drive - Hyperfast travel within general relativity"

if you want a better explanation of the warp drive.

worm holes and black holes are different how exactly?

Worm Hole: These r loops in space which r exactly like worm holes that worms make lol, so its like a short cut through space. But these things dont stay open, infact i think they only open for milliseconds at a time.

Excuse the non scientific explanations, i suck at explaining things 😉

Are there evidence supporting your arguement or are these just your theory?

Thats actually a pretty accurate explanation

hey evryone her is an awser,

it depends , traveling at the speed of light RELITIVE TO WHAT,
they are planets moving away from our solar system and almost double the speed of light, and snother thing, y would you want to go to the speed of light...
here r some reasons y you wouldn't want to go to the speed of light

1. at infinite mass you wouldn't ever b able to stop
2. going that fast would cause agelessness but you also would be stuck in that moment for ever you in a sense would be concous
3. And at infinite mass you would cause infinite gravity meaning objects would start you accelerate towards you at the speed of light causing the collapse of the universe and a big crush

so in otherwords its a pointless purpose that will destroy the universe
