hi
maybe i won't get a full explanation to the possibility to my idea but still i would like to hear some thoughts on my idea on moving a spaceship at the near speed of light (or possibly at the same speed or beyond, idk, this is theoretical thinking)
if light could repel material we could build a spacecraft made of this material and expose it to light making it accelerate to at least the speed of light. so yeah that there is my idea.
two things come to mind that would create chaos in this construct. 1- the violent instant acceleration of the spaceship when exposed to light; 2 - the disintegration of the spaceship going at the speed of light, if it resists the instant acceleration.
maybe we can control the amount of "repel" the spaceship has toward light and create a secure acceleration.
but in general, what do you think of this?
and if you could point me to some online wikis on why this would not be possible or possible that would be great.
thanks
