What do you think?

1. Do you believe in faster than light travel? And what may we be able to achieve if we could travel through space faster than the speed of light?

I think it is possible, and time would (I think) go backward. But I don't exactly know what would happen to you. Would it be like rewinding a video? Would you get younger? Or would you be the same, and keep doing things like normal? ~Morangue Pine

I think we can achieve faster-than-light travel (warp speed) but it may have certain side effects. There are limitations to the speed an object can travel in outer space. Nothing in its natural state can go faster than the speed of light without creating a space time disturbance( although Einstein's theory of special and general relativity hints to strategies in making a space craft capable of FTL without creating such disturbances). When a space craft moves at FTL, it creates an unnatral bend in the space time fabric found in that part of the universe it is traveling in. This disturbance in space time results in a time travel effect where the space ship is moving abnormally fast, or traveling forward in time at an abnormal rate. Even if you don't intend to go forward in time , there is no way of being in FTL without traveling several days or years into the future depending on how long you are going at FTL. It's a confusing subject to completely understand, but that's what I've found out so far with my reserach.
