Nothing with a mass can travel faster than the speed of light so Travelling faster than the speed of light and having mass is impossible. one of the main side effects of going that fast is actually having an increased mass, and slowed time. Please correct me if I'm wrong :)

Yeah that star with the spiral arms is very interesting, i would like to see more pictures of it :S

They are caused by magnetic activity in which the specific area cooler than the area around it, showing a difference in colour. Usually 1000 degrees celsius difference.

Impossible, Time can't go backwards only slowed or forwards.

Thanks guys, really reinforced my willingness to become a astrophysicist. In new south wales i need 75 percent on my HSC (higher school certificate) to do science in university and 80 to do it in Sydney University (i really want to go there, it's amazing, edwardian architecture for one of the...

Quite Basicaly Mhozdag, "a location where gravity is so mad that space and time become indistinguishable" is a very good explanation on how a singulairty behaves (ones in black holes or the big bang)

Thanks Iby, I'm in australia, and yes 'middle' or High school as we call it in australia, I'm a year 10 doing phys,chem and bio. But i panicked when i found out the max salary for astrophysicists is 150K WITH a Ph.D. I've wanted to do it since i was 5, my father bought me a science book...

Does anyone know the salary for astrophysicists?

Dw, sounded a bit hazy at first, traveling backwards is impossible.

@ Cosmo Novice, this is from a Stephen Hawking Documentary actually, pretty cool, it's about time travel. Strongly recommend some really interesting facts on it.

Sorry to spoil but traveling at the speed of light is impossible. The universe does everything to prevent you from traveling as fast. Increasing mass, reducing time and another which i sadly can't recall atm. Interesting fact: I have done some research on this and moving at 99.9999999% of the...

In space a singularity is something that's concentrated to a point. common examples are that of the big bang and black holes.

Carbon I'm guessing

Black holes are so amazing -__-

Yes, it is believed that the all elements heavier than helium and hydrogen are remnants of supernovae. The most plausible cause in my opinion would be planetary nebula.
