So you don't always sound that way.

Well, that's reassuring...

That's why you don't go beyond light speed if you hold to Einstein's theories, which DC clearly does. Flash can do it because of the Speed Force thing. No one else gets that pass.

Apparently. Brainy's a smart dude.

I mean, even the Black Racer can't go FTL.

Without the Speed Force, that's what Brainy seems to think. Unless it's like Raoul says it could be and Superman flies by folding space.

the problem with that, of course, is that superman's powers have been said to contradict the laws of physics and science in general. i don't think he just accelerates and gains mass the way any normal object would.

Well in most fiction they have some kind of "cheat" to bypass light speed.

Like in Star Trek they have warp drive, which creates a bubble of space around the ship and moves that instead

Or Hyperdrive from Star Wars when the ship is converted to a tachyonic state (that's the official explanation, anyway)

Or in Babylon 5 they have hyperspace where they enter another dimension and reenter normal space

Generally if something in fiction is going FTL you can assume it is using a cheat like this to get around relativity

Actually I don't believe in Relativity (Special) since I don't believe that the speed of light is constant in all inertia frames.

Thus to me, an object with even the smallest constant acceleration will eventually get to light speed and beyond if time permits.

I might make a thread on Marvel and DC light speed Characters and how each characters have been portrait going light speed or failing to do show in different stories.

That'd be interesting. I'd read.
