Near Light Speed Travel Possible After All?

Posted by Zonk on from the best-part-about-space-travel-is-you-can-leave dept.

DrStrabismus writes "PhysOrg has a story about research that may indicate that close to light speed travel is possible. From the article: 'New antigravity solution will enable space travel near speed of light by the end of this century, he predicts. On Tuesday, Feb. 14, noted physicist Dr. Franklin Felber will present his new exact solution of Einstein's 90-year-old gravitational field equation to the Space Technology and Applications International Forum (STAIF) in Albuquerque. The solution is the first that accounts for masses moving near the speed of light.'"

    If I invented a near light speed technology, the first place I'd announce it was a cheezy website filled with text (and link) ads too.

  3. Prostitute Schedule for Feb. 11 at the MBOT in SF by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Folks, check out the updated prostitute schedule for February 11 at the Mitchell Brother's O'Farrell Theater (MBOT), located at 895 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, California. The MBOT is the most convenient way for you to buy a blow job, a hand job, and full service (i.e. vaginal sexual intercourse).

    I kid you not.
