The debate about this is a long one which we have been through before. From reading statements and thoerys on NASA related sites it is not possible at this time but could be in the distant future

as a physics student it always disturbed me how sci-fi shows were goin faster than light without going back in time. which as now led to my brain turning to goo.
maybe i should rephrase the question.
-:IF:- if it were possible, how would it be done? ive heard theories from wormholes to singularities. the one i heard with singularities is a good one.

What you would need is the ability to control a quantum singularity, or a micro-black hole. now, using this you 'skip' to different dimensions, and emerging ahead of yourself (if travelling in a straight line(and we are)). So what you are doing is just skipping ofver distance, so really not travelling faster than the velocity of light, by beating the speed of light by a long shot.

and if im wrong...

Not yet. discussion closed.

On the third or 4th post you say discussion closed Nickles isn't that a mite early
Sure it's isn't possible now but will it be possible ina a million years?

no - light speed is generally accepted as the absolute fastest anything can travel - be it electrons, or photons etc etc. It is a universal contstant that many things are measured by, and due to laws of physics, itsn't it impossible to exceed this speed? Mind you - technically the faster you travel towards light speed, the more time slows downd, so theorectically travelling across the universe may take 100million years or something - but to the person at light speed it will be an hour or two. Course, this is speculation - as is my post, cause i aint read anything on this topic for about 10 years or so, so i might be totally out of date with current thinking

kill me now..

lol. I've seen this before somewhere. It hurt me last time.

lets splinter the dead horsey! yay!!

*sigh*
Eh... Been there, done that, noone understood, gave up.
Now we wait for the click of death...


Careful what you wish... You just might get it.

i thought there was another thread of this

If we break, we cry
but if you break, you buy

yes wolfy that was a long time ago, you twonk

i am not a twonk
i just only have faint memories of anything in the recent past

wait--- im just a twonk

If we break, we cry
but if you break, you buy

are you more of a spong, than a twonk?

I'd say he's more of a smeg then a spong. But more a spong then a twonk.

Edit: Damn spelling.
