Semi-OT: We will go to Stars.

[Makinus]

oleg: sorry if you got affended by my commentaries, it was not my intention, and, by the way, my area of expertise is not physics, i´m only saying what i read on the net and what i thought were solid theories (while far fetched).... maybe i believed too easily in wrong theories because i do wish that humanity spread to the stars and FTL drives would be a novel way to do it...

As the comparasion of the sound barrier and the light barrier i do realize that they are completely different barriers... one being an engineering barrier and another a physical barrier, i only was pointing that, when the sound barrier was not broken yet "scientists" said that the barrier would be impossible to be broken, in the exact way the actual physicists (is my term correct?) are saying today... i never said that the 2 barrier were impossible for the same reason... i was only comparing the reactions of the old scientists to the actual ones, and while the reasons for the impossibility of breaking the barriers (sound and light) are completely different, the reactions of the scientists are the same...

Since you look like to have far better credentials than me to speak about physics i bow to your knowledge and admit that i´m only a curious about physics, being law my area of expertise...

btw: there is any good net resources about physics, mainly about advanced physics (like quantum physics) that can be (more or less) inteligible to just curious people like me?

Oleg: i really don´t wish to offend you in any way, and i really understand your indignation if the theories i talked about are already proved wrong, because i too would be indignant if someone spoke about brazilian law saying things that don´t represent the reality, i only spoke the theories because i didn´t knew they are alredy proved wrong and, if you can, can you point to me the reasons that they were wrong? i really want to know...
