prototype quantum computers may already be accessing parallel realities or "universes".

Actually, I beleive you feel the black hole far before the event horizon - The event horizion is simply the point at which the gravity of the black hole is so strong, light can not escape, and thus anything that crosses that point has literally 0 chance of escaping, since nothing is faster than light (or so we beleive).

this reminds me of something i read a while back that really pissed me off. the article stated that everythinig is the same as nothing. the stupid thing about that is that there is no such thing as nothing. nothing obviously doesn't exist. if it takes up space (aka exists) then it is obviously soemthing.

The speed of light in a vacuum (c=300000 Km/h) has already been exceeded, this is old news folks. Article here.

Einstein has not been proven wrong though... yet. Even though a pulse can be made to travel faster than light, one still cannot transmit information faster than light.

so i'm just wondering, i mean it's a cool idea and stuff, but where are they getting this from, or are people just pulling it out of their asses?

Yes. And if you read the date of the first post you might see that that is rather old too

actually, theoretically speaking, it is considered, currently, impossible to reach the speed of light

ok if you are talking Einstein, he stated that nothing coud accelarate to the speed of light, he never said nothing can travel at the speed of light. anyways, thanks for posting this, this kinda shit is so much fun to think about.

ok... i've always wondered what the size of the universe is. this stuff here is more confusing than anything i've read. im no mathematician but i do think there has to be an end somewhere! my brain is pickled right now so i'll leave it at that...

read Hyperspace by Michio Kaku ive read about half so far and the book is awesome.....you spring this stuff on your firends and they look at you like you have two heads....quite fun

the book is about the superstring theory and gives real world expalnations of various theoretical physics topics..it keeps you in the book, not boring by any means.....
here is a link to the techtv small bio think on dr. kaku

tech tv thingy on Kaku

Michio Kaku spoke at like some honors conference my high school had about 5 years ago... I remember it was one of the most interesting lectures I've ever heard. I'm gonna check out that book though, thanks!

The article I posted predates the thread by 2 years.
