v = (v1+v2)/(1+((v1v2)/c^2))

Special Theory of Relativity!

If v1 = v2 = c (you travelling at the speed of light AND the light), you have a a division by zero, so it's impossible to travel at the speed of light.

Remember: m = m0/(1 - (v^2/c^2))^1/2 (where m0 is the inertial mass)
You'll need a bigger, and bigger, and bigger (...) Energy...


I'd like to know how those guys do that in the movies!
