Can I go faster than the speed of light?

<br />"3. Yes your mass does increase relative to your speed. why does this not sound correct to you? "<br /><br />It does increase by the amount of energy contained in it, I undestand that. I am saying that it does not increase to the extreme that scientists say it does. I think there are two forces at work one is ignorance, the mass increase is only a very tiny amount and can be discarded when asking if an object can reach C, but not if asking how much energy it takes to reach C. Because an electrical field travels at C using it in a particle accelerator is a good idea, but if you are trying to reach C or higher it is pointless. For an example lets say that a of group people only have enough energy to move their body at 5mph if extra weight is added they move slower. One person is told to push a car, then two people, then three because the car has mass and no matter how lightly devided between the people, the more people you add will only get you closer too 5 and never reach 5. So no matter how much electromagnetic energy you put into a particle accelerator, the particle will never reach C or pass it only get closer because the field only has enough energy to move istelf at C. Understand what im trying to get to now?

Also, I would try not to use the word 'ignorance' too much around here. I is not to well accepted if you know what I mean. Just a suggestion though.<br /><br />Ianke <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

sorry i didn't mean it towards any of you, just scientists make me angry. Scientists who have the privilege to work on a project yet refuse to keep an open mind. I will make a new forum because i strayed from the can i go to the speed of light too a different topic...i want an answer <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

FTL is not ruled out by theory of relativity.

"sorry i didn't mean it towards any of you, just scientists make me angry.

When what you bring to the table is an acknowledged limited understanding of physics and lack of experimental substantiation. Then why should they keep listening?<br /><br />It is up to you to prove that your theory is right. Proving every crackpot's theory wrong is a humongous waste of time. <br /><br />The "open mind" argumentation line is annoying, and also the last resort of a person who fails to positively argue his case.

Since the light question came up again. To add to ryan's question, if he doesn't mind.... Could it be possible to travel faster than light in higher dimensions...let's say the fifth dimension where time does seem to exist at a certain point? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="2" color="#14ea50"><strong><font size="1">We are born.  We live.  We experiment.  We rot.  We die.  and the whole process starts all over again!  Imagine That!</font><br /><br /><br /><img id="6e5c6b4c-0657-47dd-9476-1fbb47938264" style="width:176px;height:247px" src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/14/4/6e5c6b4c-0657-47dd-9476-1fbb47938264.Large.jpg" alt="blog post photo" width="276" height="440" /><br /></strong></font> </div>

Yes, but you need a quad spatial cross-section extrapolator to generate your hypershape.
