Some of the readers of this newsgroup might be interested in a FAQ
just posted to the rec.arts.startrek.tech newsgroup. The FAQ is
called "Relativity and FTL Travel".

Basically, it is a straight forward look (written for a non-technical
person to follow) at Special Relativity, General Relativity, and the
problems and "solutions" one finds when considering faster than light
travel.

For more information, read the "Introduction to the FAQ" portion which
you should find in the r.a.s.tech newsgroup. You can also take a look
at the other versions of the FAQ (e.g. HTML and LaTeX) from this URL:

Followups to this note will be sent to the sci.physics.relativity
newsgroup, and for more information about Relativity, you can also
check out the Usenet Relativity FAQ:

Enjoy, and feel free let me know what you think.
