Years ago, some people said that the sound barrier couldn't be broken. But it was. Others said that the atom could never be "smashed". But it was.

Eintstein's theory is just that: a theory. Quantum physics shows, however, the entire unpredictability of the universe. Remember the famous "double slit experiment"? This is one of my favourite cartoons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc Consciousness can, and does, affect how the physical world behaves. Dr Greer has often described how extra terrestrials travel using their minds to control their craft.

As for me, I have no difficulty accepting that space craft could travel faster than the speed of light. Some physicists have suggested that the inverse of Einstein's formula makes more sense: instead of mass increasing with speed, it would decrease. The trouble with Einstein's version is that theoretically, at the speed of light, an object would be as large as the whole of the universe. Have you read the work of the famous Russian scientist, Dr. Vladimir Ginzburg (see http://helicola.com/?p=about) ? The opposite is more logical - that at light speed, mass would become zero and become energy instead. Upon deceleration, the process would reverse, with the energy reverting to mass, gradually increasing to normal size as speed reduces. There is brief discussion here by David Willcock: http://www.divinecosmos.com/contact-...uantum-physics

I hope that this will help you. Every best wish to you, DC!
LPCF what a wonderful post , I really liked reading it (plus the links were excellent )

Let's just look what I spoke of in the first post ; the problem isn't that we can or cannot achieve faster or at the rate of light speed travel , the problem is that even if you achieve travel at/above speed of light the problem is the nearest star is millions and millions of light years away , (alpha centauri ?) , so for argument's sake let's assume faster than speed of light is already invented , does that mean we now spend millions of years travelling?.
If such a thing as light speed travel exists does that mean ET's travel hundreds if not millions of years to come to earth now THAT doesn't sound plausible , this is where all the other theories come into play for answers (warp drives , worm holes , bending space matrix etc etc).take your pick.

what is and is not possible with future technology? I'm honestly not sure how far I can bend the answer to that so it that justifies the ET/interstellar travel phenomenon.
