Is it possible do you think?

I think we can travel speed of light one day after we proved Einstein wrong.

Sure, you can do it right now. OR at least part of you can.
As far as we know, only energy can travel that fast. Matter and energy are really two faces of the same coin. If you were vaporized, let's say, by a nuclear explosion, your matter, or at least some of it, would become energy, and travel at the speed of light. Not all in the same direction, mind you, but you can't be too picky when you only have this primitive technology to work with.

If you travel at the speed of light your particles will lose cohesion and will have to be found and put back together again. You can get real close to the speed of light, but not the speed of light. Until someway is established to counter this effect.... Count Me Out!

I don't think that will ever happen. Mainly because a-lot of theory's suggest that by achieving the speed of light we would travel through time, I forget if it was forward or backward but anyway I think it's all a bunch of hot air. I also heard that by going faster than light your mass would increase to infinity. (That's just what I heard, that doesn't mean I believe it.)

NO!
According to relativity as speed approaches the speed of light Mass becomes pure energy. Sorry it will still take more than 5 years to reach the nearest star. No warp drives

Not just energy, but your mass wil increase as you approach light-speed. Theoeretically, at the speed of light, your mass in infinitie, which means energy is infinite. That's just not possible, because you would have to harvest all the energy in the universe to do that.

no, it's a fact that time has a speed and that it travels slower than light therefore when light travels it is traveling with time stopped.So to travel at the speed of light time would have stopped therefore the fuel and the engine would not function

Einstein says that as we approach the speed of light we gain infinite mass. In other words, no.

it is imposible. because at that speed mass will become infinite due to ideas of professor Albert Inestin.

well, i think so...nothing is impossiblee...only our imgination can dictate our limit which is endless...
the only thing stopping us to do something is our mind...we just need to harness that infiniteness to concrete things...
