I could totally travel faster than the speed of light.

Wait..What's the point of reaching lightspeed if you end up getting killed in the Blackhole...I'm not a rocket scientist but aren't black holes a little dangerous

Don't aim right at the black hole, aim just past it. use the added gravity as a slingshot.

also, for even more fun, go to the back of the ship and start running towards the front. that way if the ship does reach light speed, you can say you went even faster.

If your traveling faster than light then you age slowly but every thing outside will age normally... one light year equals 100 years i think.

Meh ghetto math.

But i don't know if that true either.

Some people here in the forum seem to have a serious lack in theory of relativity, i have seen similar threads as this. Everyone please look it up for your own education.

But to answer your question specifically:
The faster you get with your ship, the greater is your mass. The more mass you have, the more energy it needs to accelerate your ship. The closer your speed approaches light speed, the more your ship's mass approaches infinite. Therefore for further acceleration, almost infinite energy is required. And since there is no infinite energy, your ship will never get as fast as light speed or faster, no matter with how many forces you try to "pull" it with.

The thing is that even rocket scientists don't even know if black holes are dangerous or not. It's just speculations.

I think you are right! Well this phenomenon mentioned in holy book i guess.. To be specific, read it on your own..

I'm pretty sure that the crushing gravity that is apparent in all black holes is hazardous. In point of fact, the gravity in a black hole is so intense that not even light can escape it.

I think going near an object that not even light can escape from is hazardous to your health.

Also, troll physics thread?

A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A measure of how much distance light travels in a year.

One light year is equal to about 5.88 trillion miles.




That's pretty much it. It would be extremely difficult to get a spaceship to accelerate to even 50% the speed of light.

Physics gets in the way.

There is something that can move faster than light. Space itself. Space can expand faster than the speed of light. I doubt that is useful though

Hahahaha, like always theory of relativity is in the way.

But see it in a positive way, if some do found an infinite energy source would it solve the problem to this. Even so would infinite energy against the law of conservation of energy.

As Tachyon said, you need infinite energy and without that speed of light is impossible. Unless u found a catalyst to achieve infinite energy or a source of infinite energy, which in our case the probability is almost 0.

I know it a for distance but somewhere i read that to travel one light year it would take 100 year even if you had a craft that even travel at light speed... could be a scifi show or something.

It's not the ability to continuously generate energy infinitely, it's the ability to generate an amount of energy imagined as infinite all at once.

lol 50%. Find me anything that is above 0.1g in mass that humans managed to accelerate past 0.1c.

What an amazing spaceship that would be!

I built a spaceship yesterday, but it achieved only 70% of light speed, so i scrapped it.

Even using a force to slingshot a ship you cannot break limit. No matter how fast you go you will only get closer...and closer...and closer to the speed of light, BUT NEVER REACH IT. The only "possible" way to get faster than the speed of light is with the concept of wormholes!
