Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In real space, even approaching lightspeed would require more energy per second than all of Earth's industries use per year. While this may be explained by advances in technology, the general formulas for velocity and acceleration are such that as you approach the speed of light, the energy needed to accelerate anything with non-zero mass increases asymptotically. In other words, you need an infinite amount of energy (and an infinite amount of time) to accelerate to the speed of light. And expelling infinite amount of propellant - unless you have Reactionless Drive, which is a huge can of worms all in itself. |
