Re: Physicist Says Time Travel Is Not Only Possible, but Likely
that is actually the problem with trying to accelerate to light speed. the closer u get to light speed the more massive u get. the more massive u get, the more power u'd need to accelerate some more. at very near light speed the mass is near infinite and the power for that is also near infinite.Übermensch wrote:Well it also states that you would get heavy as shit, which would make it pretty impossible to go that fast, lol...So yeah, excluding that little tidbit, I suppose you'd be right... :D
interestingly enough, the things that travel at light speed are massless. these, of course include light itself, and some exotic particles like gluons, etc.
