Topic Reading-Vol.1791-3/7/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Can we ever travel faster than light?
If humans ever managed to find an earth-like habitable planet within a few light-years distance, would it be possible to get there within a man’s lifetime? That might be only possible if a spaceship was created that travels faster than, or at least as fast as, the speed of light, like the ones you might have seen in Star Trek or Star Wars movies. But is it theoretically and practically possible to fly a spaceship as fast as the speed of light?
There seem to be some physical barriers to be broken through to reach that speed level, such as energy and radiation. If the speed of sound creates blasting shock waves, what kind of physical effects could the speed of light cause?
Enjoy seeing this easy-to-understand video to learn what it’s like to travel like the light.
Note: There are some images that are associated with a few famous scientific movies in the video. How many of them can you recognize?
