relates to traveling the speed of light? According to Einstien it is against physics to be able to travel faster then the speed of light.
"In normal physics, nothing can move faster than the speed of light. Einstein's theory of relativity forbids it. In normal space any object approaching the speed of light will increase in mass exponentially, and require an exponential increase in the amount of power needed to propel it forward".
Will someone please explain this to me in less complex terms.
Yes, I got it from the warp drive article
why will an object have more mass as it gets closer to the speed of light? Lets take a space ship for example, and lets say they create a new engine that allows for a chemical reaction that pushes the ship forwards at great speed. What would cause that ship to gain more mass as it got closer to the speed of light? I still just dont understand what makes it impossible. I guess i just am not very smart when it comes to physics.
