Light Speed Limit
Anyyhing in this unique and sole universe, even an imagined God, must
obey the universal light speed limit, c = 3 E8 m/sec . The energy of any mass m travelling at speed v, is confirmed to be m c^2 / SqrRoot [ 1 - ( v^2 / c ^2 ) ] , which clearly goes to infinity as v approaches c , which is to say, that no mass ever attains v = c or likely anything very near c . Keeping in mind : ( 1 ) the simple relationship between distance d, speed v, and time t ( i.e. d = v x t ), and ( 2 ) the very vast distances betwee stars, galaxies, and most astronomical entities, then any travels between entities would tale prohibitively excessive times. This is all the reason why, although we are likely not the only intelligent space faring species, we have yet to be visited by any. Speculation about so called worm holes, is just plain fantasy. No such breach in the infinite space-time continuum is possibly, and none has ever been detected. |
