See what I mean ?
No ! No ! No ! Einstein was wrong, FTL is possible !
Makinus, please go to a decent college and take a course in physics. Both your questions have been raised and discussed many many times before. The consencus is still the same. FTL is impossible.
But back to my point: It is completely irrelevant. Inter-star travel is in fact very short but not for the life of some very-short-lived and puny infestaion on the surfacy of a tiny rock hurled in the space.
Our urge of FTL only underlines the restrains of our transient nature. Mind over body, that's the challenge.
Live LONG and prosper
