Nice video broli,but it telling me that the mass decreases as it aproaches the speed of light,where as Einstein say's the mass will increase??? Thats the problem with theories,we just dont know until we get there.

A theory only becomes reality once proof is presented.

You can think of the speed of light barrier in the same way as the speed of sound barrier. The way airplanes get around the speed of sound is by 'parting' the air, essentially pushing it out of the way. There may be a way to do that with the vacuum, that is if the vacuum can be manipulated... if so it could provide a way around the speed of light problem, as you are not travelling through normal space. The warp drive stuff going around lately is one theoretical way of approaching the issue; and it doesn't break any physical laws.

The problem is that the formula is the result of a particle accelerator curve. If you supply energy that's moving at the speed of light to a particle with mass, it becomes impossible to move the mass faster than the speed of light. The triangular equation matches the result perfectly.

This however does not indicate that it's impossible to travel faster than the speed of light, only that it's impossible to push something faster than the object pushing it.

If a spaceship contained enough fuel or energy to travel faster than light speed, then the spaceship surely would otherwise it would violate another law of physics in that for every action there is an opposite reaction.

As the spaceship moves through space at any speed, applying additional thrust will increase the speed regardless of the spaceships speed or the speed of the thrust.

This is where a reactionless drive would come into it. A reactionless drive provides thrust no matter what speed it's housing or ship it is in is traveling at.
