  It always bugs be when I hear people say something is impossible.
Nothing is
impossible, somethings is just impossible untill we figure out a way of
doing
things. Currently, yes, you may be able to mathamatically show how you
can
go faster then the speed of light. But there is so much we don't
understand in this whole field that you can never say it is impossible. 
  Hell, many though the sound barrior could be never be broken, even
though
they new light traveled faster then sound. Aren't there sometype of
particles
that are beleived to travel faster then light? I could easily be wrong,
but I thought there was something out there. Anyone know?
