I am sure willing to talk about FTL space travel.

How is there no time dilation with faster than light space travel? From
everything I have read it is impossible to even approach time time diation
without mass increase and time dialation?
If you have figured out a way for FTL space travel without time dialation
and mass increase then PLEASE tell us!

This would be AWSOME! It would be very easy for us to achieve the speed of
light if this is really true. It would be easy for us to create an ion craft
that could travel so fast!
Can you PLEASE tell us how it is possible to travel faster than the speed of
light without time dialation or mass accumilation?

Again, how is this possible? I have always heard that going even NEAR the
speed of light causes time dialation and mass accumilation so faster than
light space travel is IMPOSSIBLE?
How do you figure that we can travel faster than light?

Again, this would be AMAZING. I wish that this was true. Is this true? Can
someone really travel faster than light so easily?

>>Like to hear the ideas from your book.
Please tell us how this is possible? I have always heard that it is
impossible to travel faster than the speed of light like you are talking
about.
