Technology and engineering is not physics. The physics at work here is as old as the known universe so we would need a new universe with different relativity physics for FTL travel.Speed of light limits us?
As a nice member here reminded me the other day. All that technology they are using is Old, old , OLD.
Surely if they were to use some new, BETTER technology. Perhaps digital in nature, then we would find
that we are not limited by such a speed limit.
I mean; vacuum tubes, and rheostats? Jeez grandpa, get with the times. Its the 21st century in these here interwebz!
Lets try that experiment with a little more power:A classic and long lived mis-interpretation of experimental results. Even if you assume all of his assumptions clear thru the experiment.....His conclusion is elementary school reasoning. Just because the speed leveled off at HIS power level.....doesn't even come close to saying such a thing(that nothing can reach the speed of light).
It's sometimes hard to tell when people are joking.I apologize for not using the sarcasm tags on my previous post. Seems I was taken literally.
and as for you BR-549, I hope you forgot that tag as well. I would shed an actual tear if you are serious.
Some subjects are so serious that one can only joke about them.It's sometimes hard to tell when people are joking.
I hate to tell you this but most everyone understands that transverse alternating fields are a projection of harmonic motion that transmit changes in the state of the universe as angular momentum. There's no deep dark secret about wave equations and their solutions for light waves, matter waves or just about anything else. Most of the modern texts take a purely abstract mathematical view of the process that can obscure the relationship between particles and fields but there are several older texts that treat the subject in a geometric manner that's based more on the view that fields are physical and not just a way to describe the interaction between charged particles at a distance.I am very serious. There are many such mis-interpretations.

One of my greatest satisfactions is finally understanding what a radio wave is and how it truly works. I have studied antennas and wave propagation for many years using Maxwell’s equations and never could grasp it, as could any of you. DON’T believe me? Ask any of your friends or colleges what the physical process is for radio emission and absorption. Do they understand it? No they don’t. Do you understand it? No you don’t. No one knows the process. Very few know this knowledge. But once I understood where and how light comes from....it snapped into place. Throw those Maxwell’s equations away! There are no transverse alternating fields in a radio wave. The only thing transferred in a natural radio wave is a physical twist...a torque....angular momentum.
We could finally make it to the stars in that car.The only thing stopping a particle from achieving the speed of light is the distortion of field lines. If we could find a way to nullify or counteract this distortion, we would have free and fast travel. Why? Because charge does not need to be accelerated. Charge accelerates all by itself. If we can control distortion.......we should be able to travel millions of times the speed of light. The only power needed is to control distortion. All this charge and matter is just waiting to go. All a board!
