ok... many many many many people think light-speed cannot be achieved... but, i think they could be proven wrong by a simple 100 sq. foot black sail. "Solar wind" is what can help us achieve Light-Speed.
Explination: if we attach a black sail to one of our shuttles we use, and find a way to deploy it while we're in space, light will move the black sail... if you can find a way to steer the ship so that it doesn't just "go with the flow", then you have the ability to go where you want to... at the speed of light.
the only thing that is a downside is: The General Law of relativity.
for the traveler, it would be a few days of travel once at the speed of light... but if he's going to a destination that is 3-4 light-years away, it will seem like 3-4 years or decades to the ppl on earth... or possibly longer... which, by then, all our relatives would be dead or old... very sad. please give me ur input on this and i'll reply as best i can.
