Aircrafts have past the speed of sound ... do you think they will ever break the speed of light?

Such an ability would require a fundamental breakthrough like the ability to manipulate the fabric of space. Space is warped by gravity, but could we create artificial gravity? If we could, we may be on our way to breaking this barrier.

Of course, any matter caught outside of a spatial warp, protective field would be subject to the Einstein laws which prevent FTL (faster-than-light) travel.

Well, recent results from CERN seem to suggest that faster-than-light neutrinos have been found... but they haven't been confirmed yet. If things could travel faster than light, that would have some very weird consequences for physics, such as allowing time travel. It would be a big jump to go from finding particles that travel faster than light to building aircraft that can break the light barrier.

Interesting responses ... thanks guys. @topquark - the laws of physics are made by humans ... they can change so all good. But yeah I guess you're right in saying that it would be a big jump to build an aircraft if they only possibly found a particle.

@lonestar - very interesting approach ... I talked on a forum once with someone about utilizing the gravitational fields of the universe to travel faster. I guess only time will tell.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
