Will we ever be able to go F.T.L.?

There is a big difference between predictions that the speed of sound could not be broken and that the speed of light cannot. It was always known that *some* things can go faster than sound. Bullets for example. The question was whether we would have the technology to get people to that speed.\n\nThe speed of light is very different since we haven't seen *anything* go faster than light in a vacuum. Nothing. Ever. Furthermore, the predictions of special relativity have been verified in particle accelerators when the particles are going to within a hundred thousandth of the speed of light.\n\nAs an example, at Fermilab protons are accelerated to energies of 2TeV. This is over 2000 times the rest mass of those protons. To accelerate something the mass of a *gram* to an equivalent speed would take about the energy of the largest hydrogen bomb ever exploded. This amount of energy would be needed for each gram to get to that speed, so multiply it by 75000 for a medium sized human. And that doesn't count the spaceship they would have to travel in!\n\nNow, this is how much energy is needed to get to speed we *know* about. To go faster would require even more. Unfortunately, we have never seen a wormhole of any type. But the predictions are that the energy requirements would be even more prohibitive than what I just described.

Not now.... we are stretched too thin.  Well, we can win it, but it will force a draft and other unpleasant things.  We are not prepared, so it will be an uphill climb.\n\nSue

Not impossible. For the 1st time in my 36 years I think we can do it if our players give their all... I hope 2 god that they do!

Lol! Probably not for another 100's of years if it is possible!  That is an excellent book and they did a good job making the children's film on it, too.  A classic!

Won't happen in my lifetime.  Would be great though!

Not as far as l know!

No- it is impossible.  All of us are forever changing as a result of continued life experiences.

geez, that would be awesome.  hey with technology the way it is now who knows...it could happen.

Yes.  In Mexico is possible.  Try the airport.

Yes eventually , but I hope not in our lifetimes.I don't think we can dodge that forever.
