Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Are there objects that can only travel above the speed of light?
« on: 28/04/2010 16:26:55 »
either i remember very wrongly, or there is a false assumption being made in many posts. i do it for simplicity in my posts, however, i am aware that it is wrong and would like clarification if someone would be so kind.
the cosmic speed limit, c, the speed of light - nothing can travel faster. however, i recall einstein theorising that, in fact, it can be broken but only by an object that can travel no slower than c. in other words, c is the lower speed limit for these objects.
am i remembering correctly??
