FTL
Faster than Light Travel, in a collider somewhere on Earth they accelerated a molecule (was it or a composite particle) to near speed of light before it broke apart.
I determine velocity as the time it takes to move you own distance in space, so if you are in a space craft 100 feet long it would be the time to move 100 feet. An extension of this would be time to move away from your initial position in a straight line (compensating for warp of space).
I think though that to travel in absolute terms at light speed you'd have to be Electro-magnetic radiation (light).
Pushing that much energy slowly or quickly, into a bunch of eager beavers waiting to get a slice of real estate on a new planet would render them into bleeding fizzers, the energy would eventually radiate out in all directions like fireworks.
Whilst ripping along at near light speed, hit a dust particle or dust cloud and particles would rip through the craft.
[I note voyager1 encountered solar system & galactic winds going in opposite directions each about 75% speed of light]
Life on Earth will do me just fine thanks, but feel free to sell every bit of area on the planet to who ever wants to purchase it.
