Science, Religion, and the Big Bang

[Stuntone]

It's impossible to travel 'faster than light', AFAIK, since the faster an object travels, the more mass it gains which requires more energy to propel the object until it reaches 'infinite' mass requiring 'infinite' energy.......

To reach light-speed, an object would have to be massless which would mean it wouldn't be an object (in the traditional sense) since objects have mass. If it were possible to convert an object into pure 'information', faster-than-light speed might be possible, but we're talking Star Trek-transporter technology which is nothing but science fiction at this point.

There's no metal or gems known that could withstand the friction that traveling a fraction of that speed with cause. No one's every traveling that fast.

If quantum physics theories are correct in time we will be able to travel to other universes and back in time

If quantum physics theories are correct, ANYTHING is possible, which renders those theories useless since they can't be proven/disproven.

I hope you're not serious. That's not abstracting energy from water. That's using water current.

ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED FROM THE WATER TO THE TURBINE TO THE GENERATOR, BROTHER!

That's why it'd have to be 'information' that does the traveling. I read a book by Leonard Susskind a while ago that laid-out the details, but it was an argument against Stephen Hawking's hypothesis about singularities. Basically, light cannot escape once it crosses the 'Event Horizon' of a singularity and is destroyed. Susskind argued that 'information' can't be destroyed and would be able to endure the trip. It was WAY over my head and I was smoking a lot of weed at that point, so it made perfect sense.............
