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.

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.
