If we could do lightspeed...

Not too woolee? :-D

 

Totally agree!!

 

All of humanity are still but infants crapping in their diapers, and it is not a coincidence that we have neither a theory of everything nor proof of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. Mother Nature forbids it until the time is right, which is rapidly approaching.

 

And the fact it’s wearing a wool touque!!!

 

If we could reach the light speed, it won't change a thing. The distances in space are so enormous....

 

Time is the fire within which we burn, and where Relativity falls apart completely. Instead, it turns out Relativity has the same mathematics as thermodynamics and requires a quantum interpretation. In other words, distances become probabilistic and teleportation is possible.

Matter-wave teleportation is already theoretically possible, but is actually slower than light, and what is required is a theory of everything that can describe space-time as hyperuniform. Its possible to teleport someone across the room already, but it would require a few thousand years at least for them to reach the other side. You need a better singularity or tesseract.

 

At the speed of light time stops altogether, reflecting the Quantum Zeno Effect, where a watched pot of entangled quanta will never boil or change in any way whatsoever, so long as you keep peeking at it at the right moment. This is the inverse of the Simultaneity Paradox in Relativity, and the speed of light can be described as the "turning point" or event horizon, where energy and information exchange identities to express their particle-wave duality due to space-time being hyperuniform. Light must always move at the speed of light and conveys any energy and information with perfect fidelity, as if photons were the invisible messengers of the Gods, while massive objects individually move slower than light, but collectively appear to move faster than light and be context dependent for their individual identities.

All of which is a fancy way of saying 42 is as good as it gets, but it does so in a symmetrical fashion where spacetime is concerned.
