This was from a few days ago, but I found this today and I want to bring this to your attention that way something like a respnse can be made about it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWWyjOdJKas]. [[User:Willminator|Willminator]] 2:56, 18 August 2010 (EDT)

''The equations for special relativity assume that it is forever impossible to attain a velocity faster than the speed of light and that all inertial frames of reference are equivalent, hypotheses that can never be fully tested.''
One of the key principles of the empirical method is that hypotheses can ''never'' be "fully tested" until they are proven false. If we were to push an object with mass above the speed of light then the theory would be proven false, and the hypothesis would be fully tested.
I don't think we should count the fact that this hypothesis has not yet been proven false as a strike against relativity.
