I heard an interesting theory about having negatively charge Dark matter or something else surround something and thus it can move faster than light. If anyone knows the name of this theory or where i can find more about it.

Maybe a "negative matter" thing, not to be confused with anti-matter. Recall that objects can move away from you faster than light speed IF it is due to the expansion of the intervening space.

I believe some (bored) physicists are considering the possibility of superluminal travel by contracting the space in front of a ship whilst expanding the space behind, rather than actually traveling thru the space. This would come about using the postulated properties of the postulated material.

Hold off on a down payment.

Hmmmm... could be a theory, never heard of it personally... also, nobody has actually observed dark matter, so I don't know what to tell you...

However, 'light speed' has been broken by other methods. To clarify, it is possible to make light go faster than it does in a vacuum using a laser stabilized cessium gas chamber. The 'official' speed of light of approx 300,000km per sec can be exceeded by about 30% I believe. It is, however, still light setting the speed record and thus doesn't violate relativity.

Do a search, it's called superluminal light propogation...

There is a dark matter theory but I haven't heard of a faster than light theory. Theories from the last century reckon that faster than light isn't possible and certainly hasn't been observed.

Its called science fiction.

Its nonsensical babble.
