What if We Could Run Faster Then The Speed Of Light?
What if it Works?
Intro
If we wanted to run as fast as the speed of light, were would have to be fast. I mean really fast. The fastest thing that we know of is light and if we wanted to run that distance we would have to go fast.
Light travels at 186,282.397 miles per second which means if you were to travel at that speed then you’d be able to go around the world seven and a half times in one second! Although it would have major consequences on your body, we are not built for speed!
As an object approaches the speed of light, its mass rises precipitously. If an object tries to travel 186,000 miles per second, its mass becomes infinite, and so does the energy required to move it. For this reason, no normal object can travel as fast or faster than the speed of light.
So what if we had no mass? How would that be?
What we think it would be like?
There is no limit to how fast the universe can expand, says physicist Charles Bennett of Johns Hopkins University. Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum still holds true, because space itself is stretching, and space is nothing.

The physics world is abuzz with news that a group of European physicists plans to announce Friday that it has clocked a burst of subatomic particles known as neutrinos breaking the cosmic speed limit — the speed of light — that was set by Albert Einstein in 1905.
So is Einstein wrong? Defending Einstein, Dmitri Semikoz says that neutrinos travel faster through the earth than in empty space, so his theory remains true.
What if his theory didn't though?
Let's introduce you to something: Faster-than-light communication.
Faster-than-light communication and travel refer to the propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light. The special theory of relativity implies that only particles with zero rest mass may travel at the speed of light.
What if we didn't have zero rest mass, what if we didn't have mass at all in the first place?
The Earth has mass, just like every other solid object does (including you). It is the Earth's mass that causes it to have gravity, and so in order to not have gravity the Earth would have to not have mass. But if the Earth didn't have mass, it wouldn't be there anymore!
Maybe not everything wouldn't have mass, just us.
The result? We would rush upward even faster because we would weigh even less. Humans would be flung out into space. So we wouldn't go faster then the speed of light, we would end up suffocating in space.
So would it Work?
No, we have to have no mass, and that wouldn't work, unless you want to be flung into space.
Right
