Summary
Details

If you have a desire to be set free of any worries that the speed of light may be a limit strictly imposed by Nature, but are intrigued by the speed of light, then this book is a great match for you. Essentially, I go to good lengths to explore how and why the speed of light as an ultimate limit enables far more exotic and wide-ranging travel than any otherwise superluminal warp drives, wormhole shortcuts through space-times, and the like. You, as reader, will hopefully not be off-put by my frequent discussion about GOD and Divine Providence in the context of exploring the perhaps utterly infinite scale of the cosmic order and the bold open-ended eternal opportunities for exploration. After all, if we assume that human civilization will in some way last forever, then such eternal duration may necessarily need to assume divine providence. Otherwise, we would almost certainly destroy our species with technology and non-sustainable practices. For conservative purists who are adverse to invoking the concept of a god in attempts at theoretical discourse, all I ask of you is to give this book a try. You will likely find the open ended speculation a joy in that you hopefully will come to see the glory in light-speed impulse travel in a brand new light.
