Since all motion is relative, what if we travelled 3/4 the speed of light away from and object moving 1/2 the speed of light in the exact opposite direction...would we not be moving 1 1/4 times the speed of light? Conversely, what would it look like if we were traveling 3/4 the SOL toward an object travelling the same speed inthe exact opposite direction (ie toward us)? Would we not perceive a relative speed of 1.5 times the SOL?

exceeding the speed of light is, so far, impossible. many things are thought to happen once exceeding the speed of light, but most of these thoughts are incorrect
light will not just disappear, rather if theoretically possible to move faster than light, photons of light would not be able to strike you, but that doesnt mean you cannot strike the light, or run into light. other words, light no longer runs into you, you run into light, so visibility is still present. also, traveling at high speeds does not make something just not exist or disappear so conclusion without question is that light does not disappear. it continues to exist regardless of speed.
and the whole time travel thing. impossible. speed has no relation to traveling time at all. consider this, time = past, present, future. we have no control over those qualities. the only formula containing both speed and time is the formula: distance / time = speed. this means that speed is measured in distance and time. example: the speed of cars can be measured in miles per hour meaning how much distance per amount of time a car can travel. in this formula we only calculate the passing of time and not ALL of time, so we can only change the passing of time and not ALL of time when we use speed in the time formula. conclusion without question is that time travel is impossible. another conclusion is that time travel is independent of speed.
reason why exceeding the speed of light is impossible: atoms which we are made out of, contain protons neutrons and electrons. photons of light are, as defined in the dictionary, waves of electromagnetic radiation, which is waves of electrons that behaves a certain way. how could it be possible for protons neutrons and electrons to travel faster than electrons alone? this is why it is impossible to exceed the speed of light. enjoy. =)

The faster you go, the heavier you become. By the time you reached the speed of light, you would become infinately dense, so that movement would become hypothetically impossible. Not that you would know this because you would have been crushed under your own weight long before you reached that speed. You would have to design a body that was without mass that could store your consciousness before you could survive such travel, and see what lies beyond the speed of light.

Actually I have been thinking about this very question for the last week. If you were to travel in a direction leaving earth with a clear constant close view of earth the whole time and build up to the speed of ligh, you would see the earth begin to slow down, until it would stop(in your point of view) then as you break the speed of light, which I believe is possible, the image of earth would begin to go in reverse as you catch up to the light and past images of earth. If you could zoom in on people they would be walking backwards, waterfalls would be rising, bombs would be reconstructing there destruction. how ever, time travel will only be the visual, because the present still goes on, even though it will be the image still to come. Now if you were to turn yourself around and go back to earth at that speed, then everything will go in fastforward, till you hit earth. Hopefully you can have a good breaking system with this.

You cannot go faster than the speed of light. The speed of light is the fastest speed in the Universe. You cannot break the laws of physics.

You can't go faster than the speed of light. That's what we mean when we say that light is the fastest thing in the universe, the ultimate speed limit. You can't break the laws of physics, no matter how hard you try.

provided that all action is relative, what if we travelled 3/4 the fee of sunshine faraway from and merchandise shifting a million/2 the fee of sunshine interior the acceptable other way...might we no longer be shifting a million a million/4 situations the fee of sunshine? Conversely, what might it appear as if if we've been vacationing 3/4 the SOL in the direction of an merchandise traveling the comparable velocity inthe acceptable other way (ie in the direction of us)? might we no longer % a relative velocity of a million.5 situations the SOL?

We will break the laws of physics! LOL, seriously though, we cannot accelerate to the speed of late because our mass would become infinite. However, if we could somehow achieve light speed velocity without having to accelerate to it we would not be breaking any "rules". One way to work around this would be to encapsulate a spaceship in a "bubble" of space that is "pinched" so that it is mostly separated from our universe yet still tethered. The spaceship would then require a super-vast amount of energy to contract space forward of the ship and expand the space behind it. The ship would get from point A to point B by warping space-time itself, all the while remaining essentially stationary. I believe this is what Star Trek refers to when they describe subspace and warp fields.

The speed of light would not disappear but according to Einstein, no matter can reach the speed of light let alone go faster. One of the results of special relativity says that as you get closer to the speed of light, your mass goes up. As your mass goes up, you need more energy to go faster. At the speed of light your mass goes infinite meaning you would need infinite energy to reach the speed of light which is impossible. All assuming Einstein is correct of course.

Einstein says that we can't travel AT the speed of light. We might be able to travel faster than the speed of light if we can get there without traveling AT the speed of light first, but God might give us a speeding ticket if He catches us.
