Imperator Fyron:
I know that all this has nothing toi do with SE IV, but I just wanted to bring in some real physics.
Jimbob:
Good work man! You sound like a real scientist.
And you can really achieve .99 c, it's takes up a lot of energy, but it can be done. I must point out that we CAN'T do it now, we haven't got the technology for it yet. Yet...
The problem is energy. You need energy to propel your craft towards c. If you calculate how much energy you ned to propel your craft you would find you need more mass of energy that you have mass of the craft. So need more room to store the energy, that brings in more mass and that in turn brings in more energy needed. A loop.
The ting we need is a far more efficient powersource and far more effecient engines.

I'm sorry if my English isn't that good, but I've had a very long and busy night (working late).
