in order to go faster you need more fuel, the more fuel mean more weight, more weight means more energy is needed to reach light speed, for more energy you need fuel ect ect
What there is some sort of a light energy core that accelerates the
object? Light boosting an object has already been done.
Or what if the ufo weighs nothing. Then it would actually be possible
for it to travel at the speed of light because it would't become a black hole.

Mass is irrevelant in deep space, Guy ... but any propulsion would have to be far beyond what we would consider the old combustion [explosion] drive. Like a Model "T" compared to the Concord SST. BOTH have combustion engines -- but we know the difference in speed and distance covered in comparison.
As I said above -- for an ant to cross this continent - the task would be impossible [considering its life span] - yet for us it takes mere hours in an aircraft.
What type of propulsion needed is electro-magnetic - or perhaps something of an element we do not have [or do we? Element 115]. Or even a plasma drive -- pulsation. Even then we are limited to the vast distance that must be covered REGARDLESS of the speed. Human duration in deep space environment.
Take a simple napkin -- laying flat on a table. To us to cross from one corner to the other is set at a fixed time duration under a defined speed. But lets take a "warp" and fold one corner (our destination) over our starting point. The corners TOUCH and we are NOT restricted to time. We arrive just as quickly as we left. This is warping space. We are gonna have to deal with a science that will strip away our limitations and deal with our being able to journey through "black holes" - or wormholes to get there faster [but we are not sure if safer!!].
Once again we are LIMITED to materialistic thinking ... and we can now approach a man in the early 1800's who said it was IMPOSSIBLE [scientifically] to travel beyond the speed of a galloping horse!! How well we know now!! Or do we??
That ant would say it is impossible for anyone or anything to travel faster than it could walk [in its own perspective]. Yet we are just as oblivious to that insect as it is to us. Maybe, just maybe there are "others" who are "out there" who can travel faster than the "ants" on this planet with such similar regard!
I apologize for this comparison -- but I think the point was made.
Perhaps I can make it simpler by asking anyone to tell me there is an END to the Universe. And to prove it! And IF there is an end .. what contains it?? And what contains that? See my drift?? Contemporary science and logic [albeit] DO NOT provide the answers to the impossibilities we seem to run into. People were burned at the stake for even thinking beyond "logic" -- why? Do we have this problem now?
It is time for a more realistic approach to what is ....... "OUT THERE"!!
NOT to cower under the umbrella of a faded science that changes with each new Hubble discovery, or each new Out of Place Artifacts discovered {OOPARTS} - and cannot rationalize upon its own contradictions or ..... self-denials.
I bid my farewell for the time being. I know not when I return - if I do. But I hope that my words spoiled none, offended none, and maybe helped a little. For those whose toes I may have stepped on .. mea culpa!! A fine bunch of people on this forum. There are many here who have the knowhow and words to back them up .. and there are many who CANNOT put into words those things that burn at their very souls. For them to know -- there are those of us who do care and perhaps do understand. My ONLY wish is for people to maintain an open mind, forage for their curiosities, burn the midnight oil in research -- and take the wind out of the sails of the egotisticals who may cling to a sectarian philosophy that is as old and musty as a haunted castle!!
Then -- I must state that there are those who cling [like wounded survivors after a sunken ship] to a stale and outdated philosophy that is more than 2,000 years old. Life now is not the same - and not ALL the answers can be maintained in the Bible. I have seen all too many people tormented to tears with guilt because their own thinking was "sinful" - albeit curious. And gave up on their own passions and curiosities because some people said they would "burn in Hell". We DO NOT need to descend into another Dark Age, though there are some who would prefer this than know the alternatives.
There ARE things I know .. and I would prefer to carry this to my grave than to spill this out to the public. I made a vow and KNOW that some of this would be harmful to those who are safely "saved" in the grace of their beliefs. I hold no malice or disrespect. I only know in THREE Near Death Experiences -- I have seen these very people [at their own deaths] waiting for something that will never arrive. There OWN personal Hells because they never knew the FULL FREEDOM that the soul has upon shedding its very physical skins. ONLY THEN will they know the deception that the church fathers put upon history. Only then -- and too late to see. They will meet the very people they condemned -- albeit in innocence; but ... with blind eyes, like blind sheep. Willing to follow anyone who says the "word" over a cliff and into their own demise.
I only say this: WE ARE NOT ALONE! And the sooner we accept this the more better we will be able to deal with further impossibilities that will arrive this next decade. There WILL be MASSIVE Earth Changes with Europe and the United States suffering the greatest damage (pole shift). Yes - Atlantis will have been found in the ATLANTIC at the Bimini site. US nuclear subs know the difference in sub-oceanic elevations which have changed within this decade.
There ARE asteroids heading our way - and we have NO POWER to stop them. Nor will we be warned.
http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ There ARE more than one or two E.T. civilizations interested in our planet. MOST of them are strictly adherent to the "NON-INTERVENTION" policy and do what they have to do and leave. Sometimes a wayward human wanders into their analysis and they have to do what they have to do!! Their measure of intelligence would consider ourselves as nothing more than unevolved primates. Scared at our own shadows.
Can we deny this?
At-any-rate -- I bid my farewell.
