pakled I imagine that you put out a field that bends (compresses) space locally so that you are actually traveling a shorter distance within the field than you are outside it - so you are not really traveling at or faster than the speed of light you are compressing the space infront of you as you travel through it... but 'very well' works for me too. LOL MuddyGrub, I would imagine that an object traveling faster than the speed of light would become light(energy), and hopefullly remain coherent (if you ever want to see it again as anything but light) - so it would more than likely glow and cast rays rather than recieve shadows. - TJ
