How could I exceed the light speed ?

Question

Catching up to may be the God's speed? No joke or B.S. please. I am serious.

Answer 1

Recent studies indicate that the speed of light may be exceeded through greater understanding of the universe of which we are a part.

Multiple dimensions, a time-only universe, parallel realities and reverse inflation - all may be possibilities of methods in which the speed of light may be surpassed.

From one perspective, the universe has no time, and thus no speed of light is present. Motion from any one position to any other position in the universe occurs instantly without time, therefore light speeds are not a determinant.

The 4th spatial dimension exists in all places at once, thus transit from any one position to any other postion in the 4th dimension also occurs with no measurable lapse in time - thus exceeding the speed of light.

Burrowing through hyperspace (the 4th or higher dimensions) is one means of exceeding the speed of light.

2 books deal with the physics of hyperspace
Hyperspace by Michio Kaku and
Hyperspace Calculations by Perry Jones

Answer 2

Quote from above:

"Quantum theory shows that there is a chance of an object diappearing and literally reappearing anywhere in the universe due to all matter having an associated probability wave of it's position which spreads out into space.

Although the probability wave will not travel faster than light, if you wait long enough your body may disappear and reappear instantaneously in another location thereby exceeding the speed of light by normal everyday standards."

You have a limited understanding of quantum mechanics. The Schrodinger equation is non-relativistic, and is thus not 100% accurate. Relativistic wave equations give a zero probability for any particle moving faster than the speed of light.

Answer 3

There is no known way that anything can travel faster than the speed of light. The theory of relativity concludes that as you put more and more kinetic energy into something, you get closer and closer to the speed of light. No matter how much energy you spend, though, you never get over the hump.

The relativity equations allow for particles called tachyons with imaginary mass that could, in theory, propagate signals over space-like intervals and backward in time. There is, however, no empirical evidence that anything of the sort exists.

I've read some other theories of how superluminal speeds or time travel could be achieved, but none seems to ring true, and certainly, nothing of the sort has been achieved. Sorry :(

Answer 4

Its not possible according to Einsteins mass transformation equation. It says that u will have to possess a complex (non-real )value of mass i.e something like (50+20i)kgs. rationally speaking nobody has seen such a mass so one cannot say that it is absolutely impossible. Maybe Einstein's physics does not hold true for anything that surpasses velocity of light and cannot be extended for calculations above the light speed. Maybe some other theory can successfully explain the region above the speed of light. But as of now nothing can be said

Answer 5

Quantum theory shows that there is a chance of an object diappearing and literally reappearing anywhere in the universe due to all matter having an associated probability wave of it's position which spreads out into space.

Although the probability wave will not travel faster than light, if you wait long enough your body may disappear and reappear instantaneously in another location thereby exceeding the speed of light by normal everyday standards.

Answer 6

Sorry, can't be done.
Einstein's relativity has shown that as you get closer and closer to the speed of light your mass increases. That means that to go faster you'd need a lot more energy than you'd been putting out. This goes on and on as you go faster and faster until just getting up TO the speed of light would require infinite energy to boost your infinite mass beyond the speed of light. Infinite mass = all the mass in our universe, and infinite energy = all the energy in our universe.

Not just theory either. These things have been proven time and time again in high-energy particle accelerators.

Answer 7

There is a problem in seeking to exceed the speed of light. The problem is that we are made up of what you seek to exceed the speed of. We are composed of electromagnetic energy. This form of energy is what comprises all mass. It begins by the formation of electrons (quarks) and these in turn form all other forms of mass. This is seen in the physics trilogy: E = mc2, m = E/c2, and c2 = E/m. In all of these instances the only factor that remains unchanged is that of the "c2" one. Energy and mass values may change but that of c2 does not. It is this value that becomes the basis of all existence and is the reason why the "present" becomes the "past" as it does. These equations state that it is impossible for us to ever interact with either that of the past or future, while in present time. Neither of the past or future exist by themselves. All physical events have their existence in present time. The actors have just been transformed into some other object or state. And the future shall be the present transformed into something else.

So, you cannot exceed the speed of light, because it is what you are ultimately composed of. http://360.yahoo.com/noddarc and http://timebones.blogspot.com have a short writing "The Problem and Repair of Relativity" that is easy to understand. You'll have to scroll down to find it.

Answer 8

You can't go faster than the speed of light in a vacuum by definition. However, you CAN go faster than light in a medium, which slows down light slightly. If you do, you'll produce Chrenkov radiation. That's how we detect neutrinos.

Answer 9

Assuming you could build a rocket that traveled the speed of light, then the easiest way to exceed the speed of light would be to get into the rocket, fly at the speed of light. When you are flying at the speed of light, run as fast as you can (while in the rocket) in the direction you are travelling and you will be travelling faster than the speed of light.

Answer 10

You will exceed the speed of light spinning around a black hole. X-Rays also shoot out of blackholes (which will be going faster than the speed of light)

So I am assuming you mean speed of light as 300,000,000m/s in a vacuum

Another way to go faster than the speed of light is to slow the light down.
