uh that's all matter that will dissolve not just the metal. it's not what's holding us back, its the physics behind traveling that fast

Actually the problem is that as an object approaches the speed of light it's mass increases. The amount of energy required o increase any physical object to light speed is infinate - we literaly cannot go that fast.

What is needed is a way to bend space like a wormhole and go from point to point, bypassing normal spacial distances.

A good book to read would be "The Physics of Star Trek" (you can get it from most book stores or amazon.com). It explains the basics of physics for folks who don't have a formal education in basic physics. Very easy read.

All physical processes slow as light speed is approached. The metal used is not the issue.

dissolving is a process where one item is liquefied and suspended in a liquid...
