According to Einsteins theory of relativity, you cannot travel at the speed of light as it requires an infinite amount of energy to do so. The only way to acheive greater then light speeds would be to use the "star trek effect."
"Perhaps the biggest advantages of the gravitational engine I describe on another page is what happens when you put a negative and positive one together and use them to both propel an aircraft (Fig 6). If the negative engine provides additional power to take account of your mass the two engines will cancel each other in the centre of your craft and your mass will then in effect be zero"
with "zero mass" you would then be able to acheive not usualy normal effects, as it would take infinitly small amounts of energy to create extreme effect, like greater the light speeds
"According to Special Relativity kinetic (movement) energy is related to your speed and your mass. The faster you go the higher your kinetic energy so it follows that this energy need to come from somewhere. As you approach the speed of light this kinetic energy level rises sharply giving you very high energy needs if you wish to reach such speeds. With two gravitational drives however it is possible to to cancel your mass out so it becomes zero and if you use a zero mass value in Einstein's formula your kinetic energy is zero irrespective of speed. If your kinetic energy remains at zero you can then travel at what ever speed you wish - even at speeds faster than light! It is the high values of kinetic energy that prevent you from travelling at light speed, remove your mass and the light speed barrier disappears."
now the problems of this problem 1: having positive energy on one side and negative on the other would cause the zero mass effect, in the exact middle of the ship. Thus, one side would have mass and the other would have negative mass. You might be thinking how this would matter, well, once you have reached near light speeds to much kinetic energy would be acting apon the positive side, while none on the other side. It would then pull your ship in half. problem 2: now hypotheticly you get your ship to stay together at light speeds, you, nor anything else onboard, would want to move, moving would upset the equilibrium of the two generators, thus creating more then 0 mass, which would basicly crush your vehicle and slow it down to less then light speeds. problem 3: Now, say you solve problem 1 and 2, your ship would be perfectly able to do greater then speed travel, but... What happens to the generators? the generators would have mass to them, thus it would be unable to reach light speeds.
Advantages to this method advantage 1: With this method of light travel and "zero mass," the amount of acceleration which would normaly be absurd will be fine for this. Your acceleration is only limited to the capicity of the generators you are using, meaning 30Gs of acceleration would not effect the human body or anything else at all, for that matter, you could live through accelerations of infinate porportions, the only limitions would be your generators. advantage 2: This method actualy uses surprisably small amounts of energy to make happen, as your mass is "zero," there isnt much for your generators to push.
NOTE: "When I say zero mass I don't literally mean that. You will always have mass but it will appear to the universe that you have none. i.e. you would put zero into the relevant equation (the Lorentz Transformation) and it will show there is no incerease in energy necessary."

Some of the weird science stuff has been removed, it was previously left here for the humour value. Some people evidently don't have a sense of humour...
At one time peopl believed the world was flat. Later, they believed that traveling at the speed of a locamotive would be dangerous to humans. Then they believed that human flight was impossible. Again they thought supersonic flight was unachievable.
Of course, now we know they were all wrong. And it is only a matter of time before someone shows not with an equation, but with physical evidence, that E=mc^2 is does not define the upper speed limit of travel most places in the universe.
We were all wrong because we couldn't understand.With the technology advancing every day we might be able to travel at the speed of light within few hunderd of years.What I've read is that you can travel faster then the speed of light because the time or velocity doesn't exist there.I don't know .
Its both time and velocity (kako bi mi rekli prostor-vrijeme) Read Einsteins relativity theory for more info. Stephen Hawking talks a lot about time-space concept in a lot of his works. Theory of everything can be founde somewhere on line becouse it free for non comercial use. And you can find everything else illegally
I think faster then light travel is possible. Einstein was indeed briliant for his time and for ours, but there may come a time when people will have much more data about the univers and the way it works. We don't even know if the univers is infinit or not. Some say it is, others say the univers has the shape of a donut (don't laugh... consider we are a ant on the surface of a donut-the ones with the hole in the middle- and you will realise that in the ants vision no matter how much she travels the donut will seem infinit to her). Since we don't even know the basics of how the univers worked, works and will work we will never know what are its limits. Every theory is limited by the power of our imagination. It's not that hard to imagine going back in time...
Does the ligth have mass? No? Why then the light can't escape from a black hole? Does the black hole have mass? Is the mass at the black hole (in it's acretion disk) going faster toward it than the light? Does it mean that mass can travel faster then light? Is there something completely different at play? Another "physics" maybe?
Just some of the interesting questions, I'm about to answer
it's up to the scientist to think of a way of travelling faster than the speed of light. but as of today we are now way near that. it's a matter of centuries before one can conjure an idea to make a vehicle faster than a speed of light.
as of now the scientist are intented about the idea of a wormhole. which has never been seen before but proven in physics so its a matter of time or our physics is wrong
but if where "theorizing" then one idea of mine is a little bit simple:
when your using a flashlight, and light is in a wall. in logic you know the light is in the wall. if you put a colored plastic for example a green plastic then the light in the wall will be colored green also. if there is a way to create a engine/portal/etc that will let us be the green plastic and be transported in the wall in the speed of light then that would be exciting.
i have that one unique engine, but too bad youll have to be in my dream to see it
I believe that time does exist and its effects are readily observable. The very concept of movement is an effect of the transition of time. However, I digress.
Someone once hypothesized the existence of particles called tachyons. These things were believed to travel faster than light. Not only that, they were also believed to operate in "reverse time".
Consider an effects of Einstein's relativity equation: Time Dilation. What this means is that moving clocks tick slower than those that stay still and that apple halves propelled near the speed of light brown slower than those lying still. Note how time approaches zero as the speed of an object approaches the speed of light.
Now, what happens when the speed of an object, heaven help us, exceeds the speed of light? It is quite intuitive to assume that time, too, will slow down beyond zero, in effect, turn negative, thus the concept of "reverse time". The eccentric author of paranormal books, Erik von Daniken, has provided us a seemingly mundane hypothetical situation that simulates how these tachyons work.
QUOTE
Suppose we have a flashlight connected to a tachyon-sensitive reciever in such a way that it lights up whenever the reciever detects a tachyon. Suppose, too, that we have a satellite in orbit programmed to fire a tachyon in the direction of the reciever at exactly 12 midnight. What happens?
The flashlight lights up well before midnight...
This does present a lot of opportunites: 1. If we propel anyone faster than the speed of light, we would effectively break the effects of aging. 2. If we set up an interstellar delivery network that operates at speeds faster than light, we can send buckets of fish fresh, not frozen. We might as well expect them to arrive at their destination still hanging onto life by a thread.
The aforementioned effects also present a lot of problems: 1. Anyone planning to travel faster than the speed of light should invest a lot in protective gear and hull integrity. It is the universe, after all; do you expect to zoom through it without running into any particles? And at such speeds... 2. Anyone creating blueprints of an engine designed to propel itself faster than light, or even at the speed of light, would do well to remember that time slows down for it, effectively limiting the speeds it can attain to velocities well below that of light. Analogously speaking, if your engine powered a rowboat, the faster it goes, the slower it will row. 3. As an effect, objects travelling at the speed of light either have to be "born" that way or propelled by a powerful outside force. Photons were lucky enough to be born that way. For everything else, you don't need an engine. What you need is a catapult. 4. Then again, if there were an engine like that in Futurama, which doesn't propel the ship forward but impels the universe about it, then I'd say it is magic, completely beyond the realm of physics and hardly worth my precious neural cycles. 5. Anyone who happens to find himself caught in a speed faster than light and unfortunate enough to operate in reverse time will do well to remember that if you drink water, you will become thirsty, the effect will inevitable come before the cause and that your conversations will start with "Good-bye" and end with "Hi" or "Hello"
As far as I know nothing and absolutly nothing can travel faser than light. Eistien said that E=MC˛ which means Energy equals matter travelling at the speed of light sqared. What am I typing? It says as soon as matter reaches the speed of light sqarred it turns into energy. You know what? Time is an illusion and it does't exist I live my life not worrying about these things. A little while ago, people thought the world was flat and if you went to the edge you would fall off, how crazy is that!
It's because few Easterners (if any) knew of the Americas, but quite a few had gone in that general direction and never returned, so they assumed that there was some kind of dropoff or monster that stopped the sailors, and noone was brave enough to set sail and find out.
With the little scientific knowledge they had, the concept of a flat world made perfect sense at the time, just like how our knowledge of the earth being round makes perfect sense now. All one can do is take all avaliable facts and derive a conclusion based on the evidence at hand.
Remember, we're talking about a time during which there were four elements; earth, sky, water, and fire.

Have never really paid much attention to desktop suites, but built my first linux box and threw Open
Office www.openoffice.org onto the computer and it's awsome. I don't see why all small/mid
size companies and individuals would ever buy MS again. I'm just as happy to download a better
office suite for free than to buy one for $200. Really getting sick of microsoft.........
I have stopped using firefox a month ago because it lags or hangs my system and eats soo many
resources... so I have decided to use opera (the beta version) it's fast but it renders a little
fast but full of errors on the page... means that sometimes the layout of the page is not good as
mozilla engine... or gecko engine... so I have decided to use Moox.ws build... it's fast!
god it's fast!!! try it for your self... you won't loose anything!
http://www.moox.ws try it for yourself today! P.S Is there a browser available for win....
