Well let's see... if speeds beyond c = 3*10^8 m/s were possible, it would

details, but this is possible (I saw a Star Trek tech thing).

Trust me. It is *NOT* possible. -.-

Sorry to contridict, Chris, but he's talking about an Einsteinian theory that
is excepted equally as well as the speed of light limitation.  The trick
is to get it above the speed of light, which is currently way above our
abilities.  This was the whole Special Relativity thing, and it IS a paradox,
but the whole ugly calc equations worked out when I saw them at MIT.

Hmm, how familiar are you with Spec Relitivity?
