Give me the cold, hard truth, Veeky Forums; is faster than light travel of physical matter in any way actually possible, and if so, is there any chance in hell humans could ever harness it?

Probably not.

All current evidence points to c being a hard speed limit.

>All current evidence points to c being a hard speed limit.
There are valid mathematical solutions to get around the hard C limit, but all of them involve non-physical objects with nonsense characteristics like negative mass and negative energy.

So exactly what I said?

I probably shouldn't even bring this up because it's very much fringe research, but there is a gentleman in Omaha named David Pares who claims that conditions that can warp space occur in large thunderstorms and is currently doing experiments involving lasers he alleges are bent by his apparatus. He seems a nice fellow but its almost certain hes just reading air heat shimmer or something.

Pretty much. My intent was to illustrate where the hopes for a workaround come from.

If we were in a world where particles moved at speed greater than the speed of light, then again, c would be our speed limit, more specifically, the @lower@ speed limit and the particles could never travel at sppeeds lower than the speed of light.
Not to mention, it would have been a whole different world!

Not with our current limited understanding of physics.

yeah, we don't know shit!
