do you think we will ever be able to travle faster than light?

Question

ever!

Answer 1

We have never seen *anything* go faster than the speed of light. This is inspite of our accelerators being able to get protons going to withing .0001% of that speed. It isn't just that we haven't been able to get humans to go that fast, we have not seen anything, ever, go faster than light.

Our best understanding of the universe sets the speed of light as the fastest anything can go. Until we actually have some observation that contradicts this, it is best to say that we will never go faster than light. Of course, we could be wrong in our current theories, but again, until there is *some* observation that they are wrong on this point, don't hold your breath.

Answer 2

I believe that time travel is possible but not necessarily being in the physical way. As far as faster than light I think there is more than one kind of light or energy wave that could do this regardless of what some scientists may now say. Supposedly there was the story of the Philadelphia experiment which was supposedly an experiment in magnetic field cloaking, time travel and possibly quantum physics. It would be my suspicion that if this had actually happened, it was with the help of an extraterrestrial technology. But, many claim this is a fabrication and that the crew has testified about it. I would like to se a remake of this science fiction movie anyway.

Answer 3

Nothing is impossible, only improbable with the laws we know.

Example, noone thought they could cure many of the common diseases back in the 1300's (a mere date example) but with the discovery of things like antibiotics, many folks live and are cured. It also stands to reason that just because we dont know how to go that fast now, does not mean there is not a way to do it. Now here is another thought... black holes have the power to literally absorb light... so that suggests to me that if light can be stopped, it can be passed... hence, another supposition that there is a way to go ftl.
Good luck.

Answer 4

No - nothing can go faster than light. At least, not in the normal universe.

The only way to travel faster than light is to either bend the universe around a local point (which is the theory behind star trek's warp drive, which is probably impossible given what we know now about the universe and the amount of energy it would take) or to somehow exit normal spacetime into "hyperspace," which we also don't know how to do.

Answer 5

Einstein never said that it became no longer a threat to exceed the speed of sunshine,What he did say that at present we've not the skill to finish that at present.Stephen Hawking skill that once the technique of propulsion is achieved then a wrapping of area round your vessel will allow you to move from one consider area to a distinct without delay for that reason appearing to shuttle swifter than the speed of sunshine.

Answer 6

Nope. Light speed is the absolute, unbreakable barrier for matter. It's like asking if we can ever produce a 500 degree ice cube.

Answer 7

Ever try to kill an ant with a waffle soled sneaker- they travel faster than light.

Answer 8

I already can. It's easy; just run in circles really fast while chanting, "I think I can, I think I can."

Nine times out of ten it doesn't work, but there's always that one time that something happens.

Answer 9

I just beat a red light yesterday. Does that count?

Answer 10

NO.

I find it interesting that you put a question like this to a vote.
It is almost like if we all voted YES, it might become possible... Is that right?
