Did anyone else enjoy the Triangle, showed on BBC 1 on Saturday, Sunday and Monday? I've been reading up a bit on the "exotic matter" theory. The idea of a negitive mass particles is a compelling one for science fiction. With Einstines theory of relitivity basically stating that once the ship hits the speed of light it will having infinate mass and require infinate energy to push it into and beyond the light barrier. However if exotic matter really does exist, then all you really need to do is balance the ships hull with both mass baring and negitive mass baring exotic matter to achive a null mass state. Basically the ship would be massless, and even a smallest amount of thrust could potentially break the speed of light barrier, and of cause Einstines theory ends with the speed of light, so once you've passed it physics might change anyway.
Well, I find it an interesting way to tackle faster than light problems.
