"First you would have to travel at the speed of light"
No you wouldn't. Warping space around you (hence, warp drive) gets rid of the barrier known as light speed. |

Its actually impossible. First you would have to travel at the speed of light, then deal with inertia, then the mass of space debris that you would have to avoid. One 1mm speck of dust can have the effect of a meteor hitting the ship at high speeds, plus youll then have to figure out a way to dodge that dust coupled with the mechanics i mentioned at the start of this post.
Real physics > backyard armchair physics. |
