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.

Woah Woah Woah! Hold on. I think you completely misunderstood what I said there. That statement wasn't meant to be serious. It was only mean to be a tongue in cheek comment about how you pick up on people's mistakes when it comes to physics. See the Smiley at the end? That means I was kidding. I didn't mean it to be offensive.
Also, I know you can't break special relativity, that's why I said you would need it to be wrong as my second point.
Final-Fan: Thanks for sticking up for me. I'm sorry that what I said seems to have been misinterpreted.
