Now all we need to do is create a ship that can travel 600x the speed of light and we can get there in a year!

For that all we need is an infinite amount of energy/hope relativity is wrong. It's almost too easy.

As for the planet, I'm not getting excited. It's considerably larger than the Earth and there are factors at play that we have no idea about (environment, axial tilt, etc) . To say it habitable is a stretch. This will be Gliese 581d all over again.

erm no. Special relativity would make it possible to reach the planet within a lifetime...time dilation means the time will move slower on a fast moving spaceship. Problem is that time on earth would be thousands of years ahead by the time you come back.

You really do like to be the big expert on physics round here, don't you? :D

I was actually just referring to the idea of going faster than the speed of llight itself. I know time will pass more slowly for you as you approach the speed of light and you could reach it in your own lifetime at 0.99c. 

I don't consider myself an expert. I consider most statements I read about physics on here moronic. I see what you mean, but special relativity can't be broken. A wormhole is a better bet. Please don't try and make me look like an arrogant asshole. Sometimes I'm an asshole, but I really don't want to be an arrogant asshole.

I know a little more than most. Mkay.

Well the thing is, here's the conversation: 
"create a ship that can travel 600x the speed of light"
'For that, relativity would have to be wrong'
"erm no, special relativity blah blah blah"

You came in and spouted irrelevancies of which HWS was well aware.  Either you just weren't paying attention to what people were actually saying, which is pretty bad for someone supposedly correcting others' errors, or you disregarded the actual topic to flaunt your knowledge.  Either way, the appearance of arrogance is your fault.
