Faster than light travel has always been our dream. This would add a big contribution to our knowledge about our solar system. We would be able to go to many planets, distant stars and even to nearby galaxy, if we would succeed in travelling faster than light. We could go to sun in less than 8 minutes, though we won’t survive the solar heat that’s a different issue. We could visit mars in 12.5 minutes and to the nearest star Alpha Century in less than 4.22 years . We have seen faster than light travels in movies, but Is faster than light travel really possible? The answer has puzzled all of us. Whenever we try to cross the barrier of the speed of light, Albert Einstein comes and reminds us of his theory of relativity. What do theory of relativity say on faster than speed of light travel? According to special theory of relativity, no matter or information can travel faster than the speed of light. It also tells that only massless particles, like photons, can travel at the s...

We have seen in sci-fi movies that how humans colonize Mars. How they make life possible there. They develop an ecosystem over there. They find a way to live without spacesuit or bottled oxygen over there. There are many things about Mars we have seen in sci-fi movies, tv shows and novels like The Martian, Red planet, John carter, Life , etc . But a question arises that is it possible to colonize Mars in real? The answer is YES, it is possible to colonize Mars, at least theoretically it is possible mn. let’s explore how. Why Mars and not any other planets in solar system? ➢ Mars and Earth have their axis tilted in  similar way, so both the planets experience similar seasonal and temperature variation. ➢ The length of the day is also similar on  Mars. One Martian day (called SOL) is 24 hours and 40 minutes long. Where as one  day on Earth is 23 hours 56 minutes long. ➢ Mars lies in the habitable zone of solar  system. ➢ NASA’s studies of ...
