Sounds like ignorance.

we'll never be able to understand it in its fundamental state, no matter how far we'll physically/scientifically go into it, its just beyond everything we could imagine/ever know i guess

Given that we have eatablished some rules of physics we will one day find out whats up
For now i think we should concentrate more on actually surviving for the next few thousand years and stop troubling ourselves with questions that we cant possibly know the answers of given we just discoved electricity yesterday...

Your 1st post in this thread. So your vote is, null, I'm guessing?

As for your opinion. Depending on what happens in the next I'd say 100 years give or take a few, highly unlickly we'll get to thousands. Nevertheless, if we do, I'm certain 1000 years of technological advances... we'd be travelling at the speed of light, and even more, and thats just one subject

I think that its wrong to judge on how our technology will be developed in the next 1000 years based on the past 100 because the paste at which technology develops nowadays keeps slowing down... I think that in a few hundred years we will actually run out of ideas to develop and technology will become stable.

Personally i think its highly unlikely we will be able to travel with the speed of light any time soon, if at all, even in 1000 years time.

Star wars and star trek fantasy hyped us too much

Imo. technology isn't slowing down at all. It's just being kept much more private and hidden from the public.

As for speed and so forth.
Years ago a Univeristy doing research for teleportation, achieved a goal. It teleported a partical from point A to point B, in a small condensed tube.
According to them, if a group had the bugdet, give them 10 - 30 years and they'd be able to teleport anything.

So, your speed of light theory never being achieved? Ya... I highly believe it to become a reality sooner than you think.
Scientist already know how to achieve the speed of light, they just haven't been able to build the proper "engine/ship" to maintain it. Also keep w/e is inside safe/alive

On paper everything is possible as long as it obays the laws of physics however in order to make things "really" possible we need to have a smaller and more practical project, not a ship thats the size of England or w/e
And in order to achieve that practicality we need to discover an entire new way of generating and storing power and supplies, something thats like nothing i've even seen or heard of in documentories...
To discover that, will be a huge challenge and thats why i think it will either take us VERY long time to figure it out or it will just prove impossible for us to build something in order to travel with this speed of light for long periods of time, mainly becuase whats needed to achieve that goal isnt even on our planet, or is, but not enough of it. like a new element or i dont know... maybe we will discover it inside a foreign body like a comet or a meteorite

thats just my opinion though

This is true, we dont have the tech. at the moment to sustain the power needed
And as for ship size things, I mean only reason for that would be for space travel. I dont think harnessing speed of light and us using it here on earth to get from home to work, is a good idea
Smaller is a very viable possibility though, in the near future.

This is like asking someone random who live in Spain how to navigate in the local area of New York.

The only answer your likely to get is a fed up one or if they are honest they will say they don't know.
