>>12272406there is no such thing as faster than light because light doesn't have a speed. what you perceive as the speed of light is just the speed at which the molecules in your body can work. if you take a magic space ship and accelerate until you are at 0.999999999999999% of light speed, light isn't going to be trailing in front of you at a whopping 0.000000671 miles per hour. it's going to be traveling at the speed of light. you've effectively changed nothing but the rate at which the particles in your body are working. you will always see the speed of light as the speed of light, because light is instantaneous, and your mind is bound to the work speed of its composed particles. an object moving at the speed of light requires infinite mass and infinite energy because it's impossible.
when scientists look at terrestrial bodies and see an object moving at 1.1 the speed of light, this is why they know as fact that some external action is being applied to interstellar space, such as the physical expansion of the universe.
