Faster than a speeding bullet. And light

One day in the future, we may be able to travel at the speed of light.

Imagine a voyage to the moon in only hours? Perhaps a visit to Mars in a few days..

There is a lot of online chatter tonight on various science and space forums about a potential breakthrough in technology.. NASA may be on the verge of divulging information about a space flight test--a flight that can travel at the speed of light..

Among the many sources such as CNET and NasaSpaceFlight.com breaking down details of the electromagnetic drive, Andrew Griffin with the UK INDEPENDENT has the best wrap of the facts.. He writes,

While the technology behind EM drives has been demonstrated before, the results have been disputed by some who don’t believe that it could work. But a controlled demonstration in conditions like those in space could be enough to begin the work to prove that the project could be used in practice.

Though the technology has been discussed in great length and detail on the forum and elsewhere, it is yet to undergo any peer review and the results of the recent Nasa experiments have not been released publicly.

The device works by propelling objects through space by using magnets to create microwaves, which are then sent through a device to create thrust. If it works, it could overcome the need to carry fuel for propulsion — a huge problem that limits the speed and distance that those journeying in space can travel.

A matter of time.
And space.
And light.
