Why can’t I go faster than the speed of light?
I think a lot of people assume that this means you couldn&#x27;t go more than a few (~100) light-years in your lifetime... But this is not actually correct. Counter-intuitively you can theorically go any number of light-years (essentially) in your lifetime, as long as you are able to approach the speed of light because when you do so the distance is dilated and hence you&#x27;re covering far more ground within your reference frame (of course you&#x27;d be in the deep future from the perspective of anyone in our normal reference frame).
