Will FTL travel ever be possible?
What do you guys think about FTL travel? I just don't know if I could fathom it being a possibility. It's one of those things that are taken for granted in every science fiction story ever, but honestly I'm not so sure that we will ever find a way to achieve that type of travel. I might even think that teleportation is more feasible than actually traveling at that speed.
What do you guys think. Maybe some of you understand physics and shit better than me and can explain how we could accelerate to that speed without our brains flying through the back of our skull.

2 RepliesWe can go faster or even as fast as light when we have even the slightest amount of mass. It's simply not possible. Plus when you think about it FTL is pretty slow. Something that is a thousand or a hundred or even 1 lightyear away would still take that amount of time if you were traveling at the speed of light. You would have to go about 16 times faster than light to even make it worth it. Then you have the problem of somehow getting rid of all physical mass. The amount of energy to do both on one ship is so massive that the ship would use up too many resources just to move. Worm holes or warping/teleportation would be much easirer and would require less energy. All you have to do is punch two holes in space time and make sure they don't close.
