gamma...?

Can you elaborate on your question? And possibly quote the section of whatever post it's related to?

sorry I don't have a question its more a GAMMA! but maybe my question is... mathematically isn't that formula that gives us gamma the reason why we can go faster than the speed of light?

I believe so. Also, please don't post "noise". Make sure your posts are relevant to the thread.
 
Hello DHFPeople read about Relativity in the newspapers, memorize the 'mc square', hear strange tales about objects getting heavier when they move at close to the speed of light, then bring themselves to ask on Internet forums:
"What does it look like when one is moving with a speed close to the speed of light?" in the same way they might ask in long distance global phone call,
What's the weather down there? Is it hot?;"

Well, it is not so, as explained in more details here:http://www.iei.info/knol/pf/3trm10yysobsi-15-relativity-str-and-gtr-in-three-k.php
