Do you think it will be possible that mankind will develop a Super-Luminal velocity propulsion system?

Answer 1

In the very long term, yes it's possible. Much of the "nothing can go faster than light" school of thought is based on totally theoretically ideas. I think as science progresses, we will find that it can be done. After all, it wasn't that long ago that many people believed it was impossible to fly faster than sound.

Whether or not this technology will be useful or practical is another matter entirely. A lot of sci-fi drive systems use space warping to essentially bypass real world physics. If that sort of system is not attainable it will fall to brute force propulsion to attain light speed travel. I think one of the things that will make it impractical is that it will take just as much energy to slow down again as it did to accelerate in the first place. That's alot of energy to expend for a trip.

Answer 2

Super-Luminal, as in faster than light?
299,792,458 m/s is the ultimate speed limit of the universe (it's defined to be that, and the length of the meter was changed to reflect that definition). It's the speed at which massless particles (such as photons) travel.

By Newton's 2nd Law, F = m*a (pretty basic), so a = F/m. Now, an older way of thinking about relativistic speeds was that the mass increased as you neared the speed of light. The more modern viewpoint is that force affects the masses differently, and you begin needing more and more force to accelerate a mass the same amount (which is why relativistically, N2L is written as F = dp/dt (the time derivative of momentum, which doesn't break down). As you approach light speed, you need to have an infinite force to accelerate to light speed.

So I would have to say no, it will never be possible to develop a propulsion system which will accelerate beyond light speed.
