that the mere mentioning of anything going faster than it pisses off the scientific community? i've read several papers and studies where faster than light events have been seen or proven....yet despite the math holding up to scrutiny and faster than light being the only way certain things could have happened scientists still gripe and grumble and hold steadfast to an outdated theory. we know that the universe expanded from the moment of the big bang faster than light. we know that the edges of gravity have shown it can travel faster than light. the most well known object in the universe is a black hole were no light can escape but yet flowing jets of super heated matter shoot from it faster than light or it could not escape. now there is a new theory using faster than light to explain an event and they try everything to keep it from going against the laws of EARTHLY physics while still using the faster than light hypothesis. this article is for the serious space/science folk so i'll just post the link and won't bore the others. www.universetoday.com/2010/01/06/faster-than-light-pulsar-phenomena/

I think it's perfectly feasable for an object to break the speed of light,hence why I believe it is possible to tear a hole in the fabric of time and space....yes people wormholes.

speed = gforces so going faster than light should do just that.......rip the fabric of space and time.

To be honest. I read that. I don't think anyone was poo-pooing it. They just had a hard time understaning a new theory.
Myself, I believe we've been stuck with E=mc2 for too long. There is too much anecdotal evidence that shows light does not have a finite speed. The way I see it, although it may be a simple view, is light has no speed. It is dependant on the observer and gravity. Gravity can either slow or speed up photons, but it cannot create them.
Maybe its time we look at light in a whole different way? Wheter we like it or not, it's always around us. It's infinite. But, we (as humans) only have particular ways to observe it.
Lemmie, think on this for a bit. I'm startin to ramble.

And the whole reason why scientists get so irate about it is because there hasn't yet been an offical 'theory' as to how something can go faster than light,if they were to believe faster than light is possible it would blow a hole in everything they have done or will do in their career hence they just can't accept it.

If you could accelerate fast enough, could you bend space? Could you be here and there at the same time? What is the acceleration speed of light? After all, it acts as both a particle and a wave.

ahh but concrete you are speaking of the gforces felt by those inside a accelerating object. at light speed and beyond the speed itself becomes a gravitational force pinching space in front if it while expanding it in the rear. still my speed = gforce formula sounds faulty without an explanation so good catch. i should have said the gforces on the exterior of the moving object.
in that article you have the scientist who did the research tip toeing around the law of physics while trying hard not to upset the apple cart. you also have this.......
there is evidence everywhere in the universe for faster than light events and faster than light constants. while the whole scientific community is starting to embrace the multiverse they seem to forget that it entails many aspects of faster than light processes. they are throwing out old laws left and right but hold on to light speed like a security blanket.

As I said. Lemmie think on it. First impression though, would be self destruction.
Or a torus. I do remember a while back that there was a teory about a torus shapes universe. It was in a book, so it may take time finding it. I think it also accomodated the possibilities of other universes. Gimme a bit of time. I'll see what I can find.

The curvature of space is caused by mass. Black hole, big curve. Maybe not speed, but Gravitational force will curve space.
