I'm worthless mathwise but follow astronomy avidly: If I'm understanding Einstine correctly, FTL is impossibile because mass increases with speed and exceeding it would cause you to reach infinate mass, needing infinate power to move...
My problem here: That's to an observer, for you (moving that fast) your mass is constant and thus no problem, right?
Seem more likely you simply couldn't DETECT something going faster then light. Besides, there is a glaring hole here. LIGHT goes the speed of light.
Regardless, I'm sure there's a way to do it. People said you couldn't break the sound barrier and before that most physisists said you'd be flayed-alive by wind-sheer if you hit 60mph.
