[QUOTE="thenumbersix, post: 25766, member: 393"] [b]Re: faster than light?[/b] This is just a means of visualisation though, it does not necessarily stand up in the real world. The point of reference use is simply to illustrate a calculation. Everything in the universe has to be our real point of reference. If we move toward another star then we move away from the Earth and toward the other star, they are both points of reference. As is everything else in existence as we must be moving in one direction or another relative to them. c being constant is more to do with energy and mass conversions. Wasn't he saying that when converting mass to energy or vice versa that mass and energy can change but light can't ? You couldn't contain the energy from a nuclear detenation and change the speed of light locally (or could you)... Tenshi, if your craft reaches infinite mass, doesn't this include your fuel tank which will also gain infinite mass ! There's your infinte energy source. I read some time ago that this would be the best way to traverse large distances. If you acheive infinte mass at the speed of light (or near to) then you are everywhere in the Universe at once, all you need do is slow yourself down but aim for the target point the other side of the universe. With infinite mass you are already there. Sounds a bit like the improbability drive.... [/QUOTE]
