 In theory is there a faster way to travel than the speed of light? If not do you think that it'll ever be possible (apart from the obvious boundaries we have today) to travel faster than the speed of light and if so how do you think that our bodies would handle such speeds without decintergrating into bits. And how far do you think we've come with discovery science. This is an open Creative Science question and all perceptions are acceptable, as long as the're not silly answers of course

| Yes and No. Via wormholes we could travel distances faster than going the speed of light would get us there. However, this does not require breaking the speed of light barrier. This idea has been formulated by physicist Michio Kaku at the City University of New York. It is only possible in theory as the amount of energy required would be something like a star.

| Yes in a manner of speaking, a worm hole would allow you to travel great distances instantly. You body would not actually accellerate faster than light, but if you wormholed to Mars for example, you would beat light traveling that same distance. Our bodies traveling faster than the speed of light is something we probably would answer better if could go the speed of light. I am sure someone would figure out a solution at some point. I am sure its only a matter of time, say 200 years, before such technology exists. Look at all the crazy advancements we have made in the past 10 years. What would you have said 25 years ago, if I tried to describe a DVD to you? You probably would have given me the same responce that a lot of people will give you about this question. lol edit: hmmm I just remembered Lasardiscs existed 25 years ago, so DVDs would have been conceivable. Maybe a description of the internet 25 years ago......hehe

| If you think of the intersection of the blades of a scissors, as you close them, the point of intersection begins to travel faster and faster. If the scissors were long enough that point could in theory overpass the speed of light.

| In the book "Old Man's War" they have an interesting system of FTL travel. I'm not sure that this is actually possible but here goes. It basically is an adaptation of the Quantum Theory of Multiple Universes. The "Engine" makes them jump from the universe they are in to a universe where they are already at their destination. The two universes are identical in every way except that the ship is in a different position in the universe.
