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.
Discuss.

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? :-)
