Those that say we can't travel faster than light have a solid case, because we haven't achieved it yet. To say we can't is defeating. To base the information off of a few men that don't know for sure whether humans can travel faster than light is a little presumptious. Yes, these men, such as Albert E. are great thinkers that are definitely way ahead of thier time. However, back in the 20's and 30's, and 40's - how many people believed we would walk on the moon, or send crafts hurling to Pluto and beyond, or landing machines on Mars. How many doubted our ability that we would gain the technology and the understanding to clone animals, and more frightening, although highly interesting, human cloning. We all did, I've listened to many people that lived those years, and thought it wasn't possible. But they get a gleem in thier eye when they know that thier generation was apart of something profound.

Yes, all these accomplishments sound relatively trival and small compared to achieving the speed of light, but it is because we have achieved them, while we haven't achieved the speed of light. To say it is impossible is self-defeating, and easy to say, and also easy to back with current evidence. However, to say it is possible is optimistic, it is easy to say, but difficult to prove.

At this time, the only thing I can say to support my belief is that the technology we build today in the attempts to understand light, gravity, and the universe may not be those things that cause us to go faster then the speed of light at this time or in the near future. However it is possible that they are those steps that will eventually lead us to this grand achievement. "Necessity is the, mother of invention!"
