Yep. Also are future already exists. It all goes back to Einstein's theory of relativity. Very interesting stuff.

Sounds crazy? Yep, however the reasons behind it have been proven, so it could be true.

I believe it, I also think its a very cool concept to think about... It would certainly explain how people can see things before they happen sometimes (I do sometimes... Well, actually, a lot).

Whats your view on the universe, time etc.?

I do not think that we will be able to get to light speed as this means our length would shrink to zero. our mass would increase to infinite proportions and of course time will slow down to zero. We would also not be able to be seen due to the doppler redshift. There would be a way that we might be able to break the light barrier in a starship for example. This would mean using a warp drive in using the energy of matter antimatter interactions in a controlled way so here we would need a material that is porous to antimatter.

No warp drive no superluminal velocities or any velocity equal to that of a photon. We could in theory get upto a speed very close to that of a photon but not equal the speed of a photon. Doing so would violate Einstein's special theory of relativity. If we could not even travel faster than light without warping space then how about interstellar travel/communication as even the photon is in this case far too slow. :study:

in the case of this if you were to convert energy into gravitons and then back inopt energy...
you copuld move faster than the speed of light....

because gravity can move faster than the speed fo light... thats whay black holes cannot let light escape... becuse the inward acceleration of the gravity it overpowers light...

Black holes slow down time because they bend space-time... Just felt like telling you that.

Gravity dosent effect time at all, so I dont know what your on about?

no on a quantam level gravatons ARE gravity they bend spacetime... which cases inward acc twards singularity causing a black hole...

Its been proven that a bend in spacetime (which can be represented by the effect a football has on a stretched out blanket without a solid surface below it) causes the moon to have its orbit around the Earth.

yes the gravitons are the particles that benmd spaectime...
