It has always been that the theory of light-speed travel was as Spock would say, "highly illogical". However, there was a loophole in Einstein's general theory of relativity recently discovered that would make light-speed even slower than us. What's the trick you might ask? Well it's not us that moves, it's the space that moves. Maybe warp-speed is no longer science fiction. NASA scientists are working on the first practical field test test toward the possibility warp drives and faster-than-light travel. Scientists say that it wouldn't work quite as it did on Star Trek. Speaking that space doesn't have mass, and has been expanding at a measurable rate since the big bang. That now means that the wavelength will travel away from the observer, instead of the observer moving toward the wavelength - i.e. Earth. This now means that space travel is no loner science fiction and we will be able to travel to the furthest stars.
