As our current understanding of physics stands, it is not possible to travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, as an object with mass approaches the speed of light, its mass would theoretically become infinite, requiring an infinite amount of energy to accelerate further. This phenomenon is known as the mass-energy equivalence principle.
While there have been theoretical proposals and concepts such as wormholes, warp drives, and other speculative ideas in science fiction that aim to bypass the limitations of the speed of light, these concepts are highly speculative and not supported by current scientific evidence. They often rely on hypothetical forms of energy and exotic matter that have not been observed or proven to exist.
As of now, space exploration beyond our own solar system is constrained by the vast distances involved and the limitations imposed by the speed of light. Traveling to distant planets within a human lifetime is a significant challenge with our current technology. However, ongoing scientific research and technological advancements may lead to new discoveries and possibilities in the future.
