Can one theoretically travel faster than light relativistically?

Honestly, I kinda like these threads where there is someone who is rather stubborn, as out comes dozens of explanations and analogies and resources that allow my to understand the ideas being discussed better.

I feel for those who feel as though they are banging their heads against a wall, but if it makes them feel any better, it is not just the obstinate who read these threads.

I don’t disagree, it’s just that 10 years ago a rotating cast of SDMB posters started banging their heads against this exact same wall, and kept on banging for 7 months before everyone was fed up and let tomh4040 “have the last word”.

Tom’s October 2011 post resurrecting a then five year old “My Problems With Relativity” thread to tell us relativity is rubbish and we should all just read his website and be reassured that comprehending the universe doesn’t require any counterintuitive concepts.
