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.
