Hyper-Light Speed: What Happens?

[5P@N]

Let's say you were to launch a star at a speed that is twice the speed of light.

Isn't that impossible?

Hell yes, but let's try to imagine what would happen anyways. Would the star tear a rift in timespace? Would there be an EM shockwave? Gravitational waves? Relativistic effects? Would the atoms in the star break apart into subatomic particles? What do you think would happen?

It turns into a herd of invisible pink unicorns.

The question you are asking is exactly this "Assume the laws of physics don't apply and then figure out what the laws of physics say about <insert nonsense of your choice>"

This forum is not for that kind of question. It's for actual science.
