Too prone to failure.

If we could put splitting an atom into an "engine room" that could then exhaust that energy into forward momentum which in a vacuum of space the only thing needed next is BRAKES

Biological engineering

And just like any race car, you always want to ensure your brakes work first

Reverse thrusters

If we live forever then the world would be even more far gone than it already is... As far as space brakes go, literally reverse thrusters. Zero vacuum means you need propulsion in the opposite direction to create the opposite reaction..

In any case; relativity has a flaw

Speed of light is always subjective. There is no true speed.

brakes like, solar sails and retroburners

As it is always measured relative to the source.

a photon experiences no time or speed/acceleration as it goes point a to point b

But how do you go about ensuring your reverse thrust if using the same source of power doesn't send you back and possibly into something

Lots of math..

every action has an equal and opposite reaction

Meth or math

Why not both

Both are great

burn the other way with the same force as the vector of acceleration

If I'm traveling at light speed towards you and you at light speed towards me in space, I could with perfect validity say you are traveling toward me at twice light speed.

But in a space with 0 fiction to stop you

play a lot of kerbal space program first

you dont need friction to slow down

just force

So I doubt the speed of light is a valid universal speed limit

You need a resistance force the opposite reaction to stop you of equal force

The speed of light is not a constant

depends on how you look at it

Nope

But if you have nothing stopping it it can continue until something stops it

They measure it every day and its always different

Light seems awfully slow today

it was a joke, the speed of light differs based on how you look at it subjectively at different speeds

No like it seriously isn't a constant

Lei me find a the video where a guy explains it

source on speed of light measurement inconsistency?

If you look at a starthe only reason the light stops is when it's either too far away and consumed by the dark mass of space or the light to your planet stops which means in the distance to your planet it has stopped there but maybe

> source on speed of light measurement inconsistency?
@AbysmalWizard gonna go find the video

Not to get political, but what's lightspeed today?

Really fast lol

i dont think light just stops in a vacuum
