[quote]my guess is FTL rather than wrap drives[/quote]Aren't warp drives a form of FTL travel?

Slipspace, warp, hyperdrive, they all are.

[quote]Slipspace, warp, hyperdrive, they all are.[/quote] Hyperdrives theoretically cannot work, you can't push matter faster than light. It's impossible...

Only because light will always be faster.

[quote]Only because light will always be faster.[/quote] ? I don't understand what you mean, the speed of light in a vacuum is finite. It won't always be faster, it just can't be broken. Because we have mass it's impossible for us to even travel at the speed of light let alone break it with conventional speed, the only way to move from place to place faster than light is to go around space.

Edited by Astro4545: 1/14/2014 2:02:12 AMYou cant go faster then light, light will always be faster then you.

But there are also phenomenon that seem to ignore the speed of light. Like quantum entanglement and the double split experiment, we don't understand why this is, because our understanding of the quantum world and it's effects on the macroscopic is in it's infancy.
-
No, you can cover the distance faster then light by going around it. Yes light is faster but technically you beat it and the time dilation effects it would ensue... Aka FTL see what I mean?
-
So I guess we're both right in a way...
-
You would need an infinite amount of energy, so yes it is impossible.
-
So you see my confusion with OPs statement...
-
I didn't know that little tid-bit about particals of mass not being able to move faster than light.
-
You didn't know that, and so came to the conclusion that Warp is not FTL?
