Light Speed
I apologise in advance for using the FT forum for this.
Knowing that you TP types have probably forgotten more physics than i will ever know and living in the back of beyond with an extremely dodgy internet connection(otherwise i would spend longer looking)here goes;
In order to settle an (admittedly alcohol induced) contretemps, please could someone explain (preferably in idiot-speak) whether it is possible to exceed lightspeed and if not why not? I just cannot understand why if you accelerate an object continuously, it wont keep on going faster and faster...
And no, im not a trekkie.
Thank you very muchas.
