What happens if you go faster then the speed of light?
Read the title.
According to One Stone we can't go faster then the speed of light and if we do something will happen with time, it might even stop.
I believe we can go faster then light its just that everyone who has, is stuck in whatever they got to and so nobody knows about it and we are the last creatures in the universe not to have done it already. That's why there ain't no aliens around.
edit: there are some variables that are pretty much impossible such as the energy resource, set them aside and think if we could actully pull it off.
Gimme your wild ideas.

That is simply not true but how you perceive time while traveling faster than light will be different because of all the brand new and updated light waves that you experience. This may completely distort images and colors outside of what you are traveling in. Also to truly mess with time itself, we first need to understand it, which we simply do not.

We can go faster than light, we just cant accelerate from slower than the speed of light to faster than the speed of light.

1. According to Relativity theory, NOTHING with mass can go faster than the speed of light----"c"----because to do so would require an infinite amount of energy. So it is an effective, universal speed limit. 2. Now, there IS a possibility that one can find a "loophole" in this, by the fact that SPACE itself is believed to be able to expand/contract at speeds that are faster than light. (See "Inflation theory"). So one could---theoretically---achieve supra-luminal spaceflight if one could find a means by which to warp/fold/bend space itself. This shortening the "distance" an object would need to travel. Sort of like Star Trek's "warp drive". 3. Compared to the level of technological advancement that would be required to support a civilization that is capable of of long range intersellar flight.....think Star Trek at a minimum, more like Star Wars and its galactic civilization more likely.....our technology and civilization are both very primitive. So a very good reason why we aren't seeing any space travelling aliens, is that we have NOTHING they would be interested in...and don't have the technology to listen in on their communications....or even understand it if we stumbled accross it. Besides, NONE of the communication signals our civilization has put out has gone farther than about 75 light-years. The Milkway Galaxy...our home....is one hundred THOUSAND light-years across. IOW. Think small inkspot on a piece of paper. Anyone listening to radio waves would have little chance of noticing us...and any civilzation capable of coming here has probably LONG since progressed past using radio (and TV) for communication.

you basically die and turn into pure energy with no mass

Edited by Zonda: 9/5/2014 7:59:35 AMThe way I understand it, the closer a mass gets to the speed of light, the greater that mass becomes. This means more energy is required to propel that mass faster, with that mass becoming towards infinity at the speed of light, one would need infinite energy to keep accelerating, making it impossible to go faster. All I have is a distant memory of my physics class, but I think that's right. Then there's that thing about 50 years passing according to the outside world, for every minute in the perspective of an object travelling at the speed of light. Fascinating stuff.

I think we can... though you would need a huge tesla coil and some form of magnetic ionic drive and a hell of a lot of time. tesla coils can self perpetuate, thus there is no need for a fuel source magnetic ionic drive accelerates particles within it to near the speed of light, newtons laws come into effect and you push yourself to higher and higher speeds, the faster the particles go into the drive the faster the come out, therefore you can accelerate past the speed of light. time needed is too darn much...

Edited by ballunix: 9/5/2014 9:54:17 AMThink about f = (1/x)^2. There is a world below 0 and a world above 0, and the value of f is well behaved in both of those worlds. As you approach zero from either side the value of f goes off to infinity. Analogously, as you go faster and faster from below the speed of light you require more and more energy. If you started above c it takes more and more energy to slow down towards the speed of light. The singularity at c is what prevents accelerating up to and beyond the speed of light, but existence on either side is, theoretically, possible. Tachyons are what you want to be looking into. Edit: screwed the pooch there - it should have been f = (1/x)^2 since, obviously, we aren't concerned with negative energies, so we want to square (1/x). My apologies. On the other hand, if energy is the capacity to do work, what would you imagine we could define negative energy to be? :-)

You wouldn't be able to travel at or faster than light. As you approach that barrier (insert scientific explanation) it would crush you, even tiny atoms would be crushed. My source was one of the Discovery channels with that Asian looking scientist with the grey hair, that did a series on space and time a while back. Also time is only relevant to a gravity source where if you take a ten year trip away from any large gravitational objects and came back to earth 1000 years would have passed.

Our current understanding is that you cant go faster you can only get super close to it, even if we could get a space ship up to that kind of speed the amount of energy involved is unfathomable. As for the time slowing down thing that happens to those traveling at the speed of light, i could explain is to you but i dont want to add more to this wall of text, ask if you want me no thought. As for the aliens think there are several possible explanations as to why we haven't been contacted, i find i difficult to believe that there is no alien life out there but like you said that they all disappeared some people believe that there comes a point where they destroy them selves much like we almost have before. All these habitable planets could have been around for much longer than us, a natural disaster could have killed the life there.

3 RepliesYou can't go faster than light. The energy requirements to do so are exponential. You eventually need an infinity of energy to continue to accelerate. Now, you can cheat by warping spacetime, using wormholes etc...

1 ReplyLet me just leave this: [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/23/science/faster-than-the-speed-of-light.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0[/url] right here. Fun fact, apparently all it takes to travel faster than light is making space move around you, as opposed to making you move through space.

Totally doable. However. You would be 10,000 years in the future. For 1 sec of light speed. Ergo. No one would ever know it worked. Or. You do so. Everything cherishes and you die. Or. Time simply stops you see the whole of creation at your fingertips. Your omnipotent. You can go wherever you choose in a moment. However. Aim will be nearly impossible. And god knows the side effects. <Star Trek voyager, warp 10+>

Considering that if you were able to move at the speed of light, you would have infinite mass and would probably collapse into a black hole. If you could go faster than the speed of light without destroying yourself or the surrounding area, I imagine that you would go back in time, you would outrun the light of past events and would be able to look back and see it happen.
