I'm sorry that I'm going back to a previos point but i have had an apiffiny as we all do from time to time.
The speed of light, as we know speeds up as we reduce the number of particles in its way (due to friction i think). hence we can in theory accelarate past the normal speed of light in...
okay let's try taking this in a diffrent direction. why don't we look at direct energy weapons (phasers basically).
we know that the US military can use lasers mounted on planes to blow up missles surly then these weapons are more effective than the projectile based weapons we use at the...

take particular note of the part about Transverable wormholes
yes it is miles away from what we can currently do but they are theoretically possible.
So asuming that even the like of Zero point energy (if it could be utilized) could not propel a craft fast than the speed of light because it requires an infinate amount of energy.
therefore why don't we just use nature as our guide. Wormholes. yes there unstable but they follow the laws of...
I am intending to but i just thought a website full of brilliant physicists might have a diffrent pespective on things but if you think it is a good idea I am happy to go ahead with it.
Im sorry that i broke into speculation but surely that's how really theories start. phasers in star Trek in the 60s was probably seemed as far fechted as we know think FTL drives are and now we can blow up missiles using lasers attached to planes.
Science isn't really about what we know but...
I am currently doing my A levels at school and my next peace of coursework is on sensors and mesuring their sensitivity. it has to be something that can be done with fairly basic equipment (so just resistors, wires, bulbs, capacitors) normal high school stuff and with a fairly easy theory to...
Can i ask a quick question,
most of the promblems that stop FTL travel seems to be that the closer to the speed of light you get the more energy it takes to acelerate hence making it almost impossible to reach.
however all these problems are caused by the fact that we are inside our space-time...
