It's official: FTL is impossible

I'll just skip responding to any trolling posts. The two links JoradRussell posted above cover part of it pretty well. One more is from 1997 but is nicely written and uses the term ZPF (zero-point field), which may be less confusing than some of what's going around:

No accusations of trolling, please. If you really think someone is trolling, hit the "notify moderator" button and leave it to the professionals. ;)
 
Okay, fine. Several scientists got a grant from NASA to work on this. It's out of my hands. You can get further details from their papers. But I would point out that ZPF propulsion is a fuel hog, only viable once you have strong overunity zero-point energy production.
