People will say 'Einstein said we couldnt so we cant', but people said long ago we couldnt travel faster than the speed of sound - wrong. It was said long long ago that if we travelled more than 5 miles per hour our insides would be crushed (the actual speed of this one ive forgotten but it was very low, to do with bicycles or cars being invented). They said the Earth was flat, man couldnt fly etc...
I think the only reason Einstein would say its impossible and come up with such an elaborate reason was to make people challenge him and say ' I dont belive it, we can travel faster, we just have to learn how to'.
My controversial part - Of course there are always people who accept the easist answer or the one that will keep them in the 'popular' group for fear of ridicule,eg. company men who go along with whatever they are told because they are too afraid to stand up for better ideas or ways.
