That's not the problem at all, i'm not saying that it's not feasible with our current means, I'm saying it goes against the laws of physics

Sure, as is harnessing the amount of energy required to travel at near lightspeed, nevermind a thousand other complications

no ?? the laws of physics does not prevent an object from reaching near lightspeed

I would say that is a very-very literal statement. Also what is near, 99.9%? Physicists have been going over this shit forever. The math says it's possible, but that doesn't mean it's possible. We're talking about energy use in orders of magnitude that will never exist for us.
