Sure, I don't care about that. I'm just sharing a good video that gives an interesting viewpoint from physics and has some pretty fascinating implications.
Well, I'm not a physicist, but here is how I see it. Einstein said as you approached the speed of light, you required more power to go faster, and the amount of power you needed increased exponentially. Why? Because as you approached the speed of light, you became more and more massive. The mass of a starship would increase as it approached lightspeed. Also time would effectively slow for those on the ship as it approached lightspeed.
HUH???
The way I think about it is this. Have you ever been standing in a swimming pool with a friend in about 4 feet of water? You can lift your friend out of the pool even if he is heavier than you. But the more you lift him out of the pool, the heavier and heavier he gets. Why does he get heavier and heavier the more you lift him out? Because while he is in the pool, the buoyancy of the water makes him lighter. His mass is relative to the mass of the water. As you lift him out, less and less of him is in the pool, so he gets heavier and heavier as he forsakes the buoyancy of the pool. He is not really getting more and more massive, but within the pool he is lighter.
So space-time is like the pool. As you approach light-speed you are starting to leave the pool. Getting more and more massive, being subject to less and less time. This is why time slows and you become more massive. You are forsaking the 'buoyancy' of space-time. A ship approaching light-speed would start to hydroplane out of space-time.
And... there's nothing outside of space-time. Within the pool your mass is relative to the rest of the universe. But if I start to forsake the buoyancy of all of space-time, my mass is becoming relative to NOTHING - I'm becoming infinitely massive. This is why Einstein said the mass would approach infinity as the speed approached light-speed.
Things that become infinitely massive tend to collapse in on themselves into black holes. So if you had any mass at all, I think that's what would happen if you really forced it with an infinite amout of power to try and approach and break the light speed barrier, the result would be the ship collapsing into a black hole. If you had ANY MASS AT ALL to start with, that would be the result. You would have to be pure light or pure spirit to approach or exceed light speed and not be destroyed in the black-hole trap.
Pretty interesting setup. To me it seems like God really doesn't like universe-hackers
Anyway, that's the way I think of it.
