A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPERA_experiment" target="_blank">recent anomoly</a> has scientist scrambling to find out if the lightspeed barrier is no more a barrier than the sound barrier. I personally have always felt the explanation in Relativity a bit forced and am hoping this pans out to prove that the lightspeed barrier is just another concoction of self-limiting scientific minds. The greatest minds in the world once said that the speed of sound couldn't be broken. It was dubbed a "barrier". We now have a lightspeed barrier that has all the hallmarks of being an artificial limitation set by limited thinkers.<div><br /></div><div>If this is so, the physics relying upon it would be fundamentally flawed and may explain why quantum physics and many other mysteries don't pan out when compared to relativity in many areas. Many scientist today even question the assumptions made in relativity. Even the very theory of time dilation may be called into questiion</div><div><br /></div><div>So if it turns out that we only need to keep pushing faster and faster to get past light speed, what would it take to achieve faster than light travel without some spacefold, void, slipstream, warp or wormhole technology? What if we can just keep accelerating to get there? What if time doesn't move forward in lightspeed as much as is claimed, if at all? What would it mean for space travel and how we get about and the time relationships?</div>
