Also, at what speed does gravity propagate?
Man is hampered by his limited senses. For man to even fathom more electromagnetic energy exists in the universe, he'll have to
imagine it's existence, then try to figure how to detect it. If man doesn't, it doesn't exist to him.
There's a good chance other radiation sources exist, ones that'll spin our whole idea of the creation of the universe too. Something man could use as a carrier to speeds beyond light.
To say man can't travel faster than light, is equal to saying no other energy source
can exist. Without a way to approve/disapprove that idea, neither assumption can be
factual. Theories tell us man can't travel faster than light, but theories can go out the door in an instant if data comes in to disapprove that guesstimate.
We assume time is linear, it travels in a straight line. Dimensionally, we can only proceed in time. But if man could hop to another dimension (by use of a worm hole or other gravitational sling shots or holes in the fabric of space), there's no telling where he might go -- back in time, forward in time, into another universe all together.
Think about this: if you took a sphere in your hand, do you notice the sphere is suspended in another sphere? And that sphere is suspended in another (our universe). What's the universe suspended in?
Something outside our universe may exist, and it may not even be space. If we can punch a hole through it, perhaps we can do more than just travel in time. Maybe we can see the face of God that is holding that sphere we call our Universe?.
