re: Perception of FTL is possible
Hi All
FTL isn't perceived at 71% of c because your perception of the Universe contracts with your increase in speed, hence the perceived distance travelled decreases in step with the perceived increase in speed.
But that's nit-picking. I'm still hanging out for Alcubierre warp drives - which Krasnikov has shown have had their energy requirements grossly inflated - and Visser wormholes. I think we will find that space-time is more tangled up than our global cosmologies lead us to believe, so we will be able to tunnel between different bits of space-time.
