What is the most efficient method of faster than light travel and what fuel should you use?

Answer 1

I hear ethanol works well. With a turbocharged engine on ethanol, you can go twice the speed of light.

Answer 2

You don't use fuel to travel in space faster than light. You use space itself by creating a warp in the spacetime field. To do that you need to understand the coupling of the electroweak force and gravity under certain conditions of quantum theory. What needs to be done is an intense warp to be generated by creating a coupling of the electroweak force and gravity at the subatomic level.....otherwise known as quantum gravity. The warp acts much like a Casimir plate between the space inside the warp and that external to the warp. It uses the zero point energy of the vacuum to generate the appropriate field needed to bend space itself. All that's needed is a vector displacement off warping across the field to generate motion. Note, however, that the space surrounding your ship, and the ship itself doesn't violate Relativity in that it's at rest relative to the warp. It's the warped spacetime that moves, and that then moves the ship along with it. There's also no relativitic effects such as time dialation occuring either, due to the geometries present between the ship and the warp.

What most people don't know, or realise, is that Einstein NEVER said that you cannot go faster than light. He was quite happy with the notion that space itself could travel faster. What his theories say is that you cannot travel AT the speed of light in space or ACCELERATE a body in space to the speed of light, if it has a rest mass greater than 0. There's nothing in either Special or General Relativity which precludes travelling faster. As a matter of fact there are certain conditions in relativity which require faster than light speeds and there are the equations for them. It's just that unique set of conditions which pertain to lightspeed itself and its relationship to space and object mass which are forbidden.

Answer 3

You go ozzie. Most people scoff at the notion of faster than light travel based on what they learned in high school physics. They don't realize the "warp drive" (made famous by Star Trek) is actually a real theoretical possibility that doesn't violate relativity. Whether or not we will ever be able to do it (by warping space-time as ozzie described) is another matter.

Answer 4

There is nothing, no fuel, nothing that can go faster than the speed of light.

Answer 5

The only thing faster then the speed of light is God!

Answer 6

I'm thinking the best method would be to position yourself within gravity's reach of a black hole, and let it suck you in. No fuel necessary.

Answer 7

I don't think no body has reached to the speed of light till now.

Answer 8

You need dilithium crystals.

Answer 9

i dont think you can get there from here...
