Wait, no. Physics is screwed, again.

Wait, isn't this a good thing. Discovering something that can travel faster than light suggests that it is indeed possible to do so. This is good thing. Also physics aren't broken, physics as we currently understand them are broken. People previously only thought that nothing could go faster than light because until now nothing had been discovered that could. Well now something has so the speed of light is no longer the ceiling velocity which cannot be exceeded.

Have we developed FTL space travel yet? And if not, why?

No. Accelerating things to near light speed requires stupid amounts energy for mere sub-atomic particles. Try doing that to a whole ship.

Doesn't mean it's not possible though.

Never said that, he was just asking why we haven't yet.

Which should be fairly obvious. We only just discovered that it's even possible to travel faster than light. Getting us traveling that fast is still a whole other issue.

Hey, don't tell me that, talk to him.

 

[sextus the crazy]

so what if it goes a bit faster?, scientific method people, and besides, dont you all want space ships that can travel at hyper speed? well here is the first step :O!

Faster than light travel kind of... destroys the current physics model, and thus pretty much the entirety of our understanding of relativistic physics. So kind of a big deal.
