Hi
I found these forums by accident but I'm happy I did because I'm always ready to talk physics.I am not a phyiscs major or in that field, I did take it in high school and have read some books on relativity and some Hawkins books. I'm looking for the latest information on a few topics..

1. Singularities - what's the latest on these and where can i find some good info that can give me a solid backround on these and specifically how they tie into traveling long distances in space ?

2. what kind of math is involved with understanding how singularities and black holes function and how what they are made of ?

3. Has there been any work done with achieving or passing the speed of light recently ? A colleage of mine just told me this had been done.

I know these are very general but physics is my passion and I can't find any good material on these topics. I figured users here could save me countless hours of time looking.

thanks

S

what has been done? achieving or passing?

diff. geom. (tensors with diff. eqs.), from what I have seen.
