At least, that's what I think, if I remember my science classes correctly.

Faster than the speed of light.

Now we've just got to wait for April 5th 2063.

yeah but then, how do we combat the time distortion.

Exactly.

The only question with this is, can it be verified multiple other times? The theory of spatial relativity is a big one, it would mean major changes if this is indeed true. The question after that will become how did this happen and how were we mislead for so long.

The idea is that as you approach the speed of light time slows down for you and when you reach it time stands still. What happens when you pass the speed of light?

How do we get enough energy to actually propel something to such speeds?

Oh and one more straw for those of you who don't really care/understand/haven't studied Einstein's theory: What does this imply for other scientific theories?

I hope we invent replicators first.

that's really cool....
if it really is true and is repeatable and verified, then as the article says, the discovery could most of modern physics since Einstein...... Kind of hard to imagine that, but talk about a leap if we could have faster-than-light travel... it could make colonizing new planets feasible, and that my friends, would be Awesome!!!!!!

Time Travel? :P Nah, but this is cool though, just gotta see if it can be confirmed by other scientists.
