Dude, E=MC2 is not everything Einstein wrote. Check out the theory of relativity.


energy = (observed mass) * (speed of light in a vacuum)^2 is an approximation.

As for warp speed, the clue is in the name.

By warping space you make space smaller, making space smaller makes your speed increase.

That is, if 1 metre becomes 10 centimetres, by warping the space around you and shrinking it by a factor of ten, your speed increases ten fold.

ok

The Theory of Relativity and the Special Theory of Relativity deal with a static universe because a dynamic universe cannot be sufficiently proven.
If movement is involved their truths are only implied. In his statements concerning how clocks speed-up and matter expands to infinity by approaching light speed few people could accept.
Captain Digness, Ensign Paris andf Lionhead are saying that Einstein was using a stacked deck with these published writings. NO- he was using a deck with 2-suits by delving into truths about a static universe. His assumptions are useable only because of their mathematical intensity.

don't know if we have any physics whizzes in here, but a long time ago i read on the internet someone explaining the relationship between time and velocity in a very novel way, though i'm not sure if it was completely accurate.

basically, how he explained relativity was to imagine the universe as a tetraspace--with time being the 4th dimension. now, any object can travel through this tetraspace at a velocity defined by √(x�+y�+z�+t�)=c, whereby x, y, and z are its linear velocity in each of the traditional spatial dimensions, and t is its movement through time. c, of course, is the speed of light.

now, most objects don't come anywhere close to traveling at the speed of light. so their movement through the temporal dimension is more or less the same at roughly ~c (since their x,y, and z velocities are so insignificant at this scale).

however, speed things up then t does gradually get smaller and smaller. and as √(x�+y�+z�) approaches c, then t approaches 0. so if you _do_ manage to reach the speed of light, then time must necessarily stop.

i don't know if all this is right, or perhaps i might have the equation wrong, but it seemed to make a lot of sense when i read it.
