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.

6 RepliesThere's loads of shortcuts and theories and stuff like that all around. But, maybe it's too early in the morning and I haven't scrambled myself back to normal yet, and I think this sounds like a page out of troll science and physics, but hear me out. Let's say you have a spaceship floating in space, going nowhere. And let's say there's a field around it that traps things in it. So our spaceship has a barrier of atmosphere around it. What would happen if you built the ship like an airplane or a jet, and fired off the propulsion systems? Since there would be a small atmosphere generated and trapped in a small radius around it, would it not move forwards? If so, then because of all thos laws which I'm too stupid to recall at the moment, wouldn't you be able to eventually accelerate to light speed, assuming you didn't crash into something?
