It is quite clear from a few simple considerations, and yes using simple division is involved but we find out that light speed is just that, the speed at which light travels, therefore if you want to define faster than light travel that's fine but you have to invent a new name for it as well, you cannot call it light. I believe there is a quantum particle that goes faster than light, it is called the "Tachyon."

Ideas that you have under the influence of drugs have no scientific merit because they are not reproducible by standard methods. If you are professional you will jot your ideas down, then later when you are sober interpret those ideas so that you are sure it wasn't just a state of mind. Many people have this problem, after day of work they relax with a drink or a smoke and then instantly everything they had been working on earlier becomes crystal clear; however if you don't write down those initial thoughts of relaxation, you will forget them. I think the term for that is "Cartharsis"

Not here to convince another. I am just - a purveyor of knowledge.
I like your tagline, so I not argue with you on your veiws of the big-bang yet.

I believe the theory of relativity if pursued further can actually lead us towards TOE rather than string theory..

If it reveals time travel is true, then yes.

[dipayankar]

We havent probed the depth of relativity, my belief is that relativity will further get us into the different dimensions of science which we have not been able to visualise as yet..

But aren't we traveling through time now.. at the rate of 1 second per second? Does String Theory predict that?

Ok. Maybe it's bed-time for me.

String theory is a theory of compromise. If it encounters any issue, then it tries to wriggle out of that situation rather than facing the problem headon. I wonder how many more dimensions this theory will add ultimately.

Thats a very good question dipayankar,prehaps if "they" add an infinite amount of
dimensions then all eventualities can be accounted for!

More so, if the equations turn out to be pages long, wouldn't they be better off to hire an animations expert to draw their idea?

Past and future are not existences that one can move from or to. Time is a reference to a motion that allows us to communicate the notion of moving objects and changes in spatial locations. The smallest measure of the “now instant” is the Planck time quantum increment. Don’t bass your knowledge on the magic tricks; they’re illusions created by the misinterpretations of the math.

Quite true, just because I understand some aspects of a special case phenomena, doesn't mean the math follows directly from my observations; it could be that the "implied" logic of math is more important than the explicit logic, I am awaiting 3 good books to arrive at my local library, mostly on Riemann Sums and the calculus surrounding them.
