Community Consensus on Physical and Technological Matters: Discussion

nay

quite the contrary, UFO. I want to remove the rule so that the rule won't be broken or twisted. the reason the law should be removed is not for freedom, but for order.

first, the only law we are talking about removing is the one that makes it so nothing can go faster than the speed of light...so we can go faster than the speed of light

the usualy way is to tack on some new law, device, or substance that the law doesnt apply to, which more or less presents it as something special and stretching the rules somehow.
I hate this because I prefer an ordered, firm set of physics with no leeway at all. something that has abnormal properties and does not follow them to a T is messy. your "exoparticle" is an aberration, something that does not follow the same rules as everything else. even though you have justification for why it does this, it still does. the cosmic laws should not make an exception. its goes against the whole meaning of cosmic law.

so in the workings of this universe, there is no cosmic speed limit in the first place, so there is no special exeption to physics. It feels better for FTL travel it to be something normal.

EDIT: clarification- we can still have limits to speed, of course. just technological ones. so "hyperdrives", instead of letting you crap in the face of general relativity, dramaticaly increase acceleration and speed.
