The speed of light is not the
limit speed in our universe Approximately in 1964, I wrote to NASA
inquiring about their potential interest in a space propulsion system that
would enable spaceships to travel near the speed of light. Their answer was:
“We do not believe that spaceships will ever be
made to travel near the speed of light”. Today, NASA is actively pursuing the design
and engineering of space propulsion systems that will enable spaceships to
travel near the speed of light (some information on NASA's space propulsion systems
that can enable speeds near the speed of light). It does challenge the mind that a sailboat
can be made to travel faster than the wind that is powering it, yet it is
currently being done (sailing faster than the wind). During the days of the Wright brothers, it
did challenge the mind that an aircraft could travel beyond the speed of
sound. When Albert (Einstein) stated that light is
the limit speed in our universe, he merely stated that it is the limit speed
for all objects that are not a result of technology. His statement is
true. It is quite simply that all matter and energy (both the same, actually)
possess a gravity field that necessarily interacts with any other gravity
field that reaches it. The fundamental reason for which the speed
of light is the limit speed in our universe is quite simply due to the
gravity field of all interstellar bodies that permeate our universe (e.g.,
galaxies, black holes, etc.), which gravity field interacts with any other
gravity field that moves through it. As an object nears or breaks through the
light barrier, it creates a gravitational shock wave, in the same manner that
an objet creates a shock wave in our atmosphere when it goes through the
sonic barrier (pictures of sonic barrier breakthrough). For objects that can result from technology
devised with sufficient intelligence and knowledge, the limit speed in our
universe is not the speed of light. "A person who never made a mistake
never tried anything new" – A. Einstein Daniel Guibord |
