Man has dreamed of faster than light drive so they can visit the any star in a decent time frame, one lifetime or with only a few years travel. Well Einstein's general theory of relativity says it's impossible. He and other physicist claim that gravity is the base that the universe is built on. That leaves all possibilities of manipulating gravity at travel slower that light speed, or maybe exceeding light speed by manipulating gravity in a way that we haven't turned from theory into a pra...
