Just need to figure a way around propelling ourself at high speeds in a vacuum with 0 resistance that doesn't run on modern day fuel
DC can be the first colony on the sun

Yes but I'm talking combining nuclear matter with nuclear antimatter.
@Zone-Tan and garuntees that your craft will not collide with dust at FTL speeds and disintegrate across several solar systems
Which would require the tech of our possibly next big tech leap
Much more kinetic energy. What we dropped on Hiroshima is a small sparkler in comparison lol
ala star trek warp cores
For an idea imagine if in a controlled environment we could split an atom and at the same time control where the energy output goes
And the next leap in human neurological evolution. Unless we want to all die
Brain Machine Interface
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
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
