Good stuff pete. You used the word we a lot though, so you should go back and change that. And a few other things, like to instead of two.

Now, as for speed of light travel, one can't go the speed of light, all the theories and laws point at that. But, none point at not being able to go past the speed of light. Which would lead somone to believe that they could accelerate, and then jump over the speed of light compleltly and go faster. Wierd stuff.

Ya, I woke up early today for crunch day and was bored.

i read this before vo did!

and im pretty sure its impossible to travel at the speed of light as well as faster than the speed of light..since traveling at the speed of light entails having infinite mass, it's kind of hard to accelerate something with infinite mass.
a = F/m, where m equals infinity..i believe that would equal zero. unless you applied infinite force, though i dont think thats possible.

forget the last half of what i said..newton's laws don't apply at speeds near the speed of light!

[yo_soy_en_fuego]

Yea, but the reason it dosn't apply is due to the fact that the object then has infinite mass, right?

[yo_soy_en_fuego]

Yea Pepe, you're right. And Dan, you can't pass over a speed. You can't go from below the speed of light, to over the speed of light without going the speed of light. It just dosn't make sense. Also, the size of the universe dictates the fastest speed something can travel, this was described in diagrams, however I didn't feel like doing picture uploading and stuff.

i was thinking the same thing..no matter how quickly you accelerate, you still hit every speed between your initial and final velocities
