Can we circle the natural law that is introduced in the Theory of Relativity?
Some thoughts about "Project Daedalus"
When we are thinking about the form of the "Project Daedalus", we can think that there is one very capable version of this hypothetical spacecraft. In the plans, what Interplanetary society made in the 1970s "Daedalus" used the helium 3 as the fusion fuel. And that fuel would be taken from the atmosphere of Jupiter.
But the thing is that there is another version of "Daedalus" that is ever mentioned. So in this "more conventional model" "Daedalus" uses lithium as the fusion fuel. In fact, in this case, the fuel pellets would be lithium batteries, which are driven by magnetic accelerator through the focal of the laser rays, and that thing would make the fusion propellant to that spacecraft.
"Daedalus" is one of the most conventional models of the interstellar spacecraft designs, and the thing is that this kind of system is not very sharp about their propellants. So they can use also hydrogen, methane, or even water as the propellant, and the idea is that the other propellants would vaporize in the engine by using the microwaves and drive through the laser focus.
That means that the "Daedalus" can accelerate to the speed, what is about 20% of the speed of light, and then turn to use microwave engine. The ability to use the propellant in the first stage acceleration would give microwave engines more thrust and the system can use replace photons by using microwaves. So could "Daedalus" operate in the interstellar flights? Probably not, but it could open the road to the entire solar system.

A couple of futuristic concepts of the interstellar spacecraft
What if somebody benefits the principle of aircraft cannon in the interstellar space travel. The speed of a bullet, what is shot from aircraft is the muzzle velocity of the bullet+speed of the aircraft. What if the spacecraft, what travels at the speed of light would shoot another craft froward? Would that thing make the dream possible?
When Albert Einstein introduced the Theory of Common relativity he proved that nothing can cross the speed of the light. But the thing is that there is a couple of things on how to circle that thing. In those cases, the need for the energy is so huge, that creating the craft is extremely difficult.
The system bases the idea of the cannon, what travels forward. When the cannon shoots the particle ahead, the speed of the particle gets the speed of the cannon behind it. So this effect makes the forward-shooting aircraft cannon so devastating. When the bullet what muzzle velocity is 1000 km / h in the static platform would shoot from the aircraft, what speed is 1000 km /h the speed of the bullet is 2000 km / h (muzzle velocity of bullet+ speed of the aircraft)?
So what if we would make the spacecraft what acts like this. The idea is to make the cannon, what is accelerating to the speed of the light, and then shoots another spacecraft ahead like aircraft shoots bullet in the last example?
So the diagram could be the extremely high-speed two-stage spacecraft, which uses this principle to cross the speed of the light. The idea is that the first stage would accelerate the craft to the speed of the light, and then the antimatter cannot push the second stage ahead.
The thing is that the antimatter engine, which operates the opposite way would shoot the second stage ahead when the craft is traveling at the speed of the light. The thing is that this kind of vision is pure theory. When the craft would travel to the forward with the speed of 90% of the speed of the light.
And the second stage would start the antimatter engine at the same time, when the antimatter cannon shoots, the acceleration would be extremely high. The thing that this kind of system requires is extremely high acceleration. The idea is that the second stage would reach the speed of 30 % of the speed of the light in a couple of seconds, and that means the speed of it would be the speed of the first stage plus the muzzle velocity of the second stage. Maybe we would someday in future get the answer to that question.
Can the oscillating layer make crossing the speed of light possible?
But can the "Zero point propulsion" make the impossible possible? Can the oscillating layer allow us to cross the speed of the light? In this scenario, the spacecraft would reach the speed that is really near the speed of the light. Then the forward of the craft would start to vibrate. In this case, the craft would fly almost to the speed of the light.
And then the plate at the front of it would start to move back and forth by the nano springs, and the idea is that in this case, the speed of the layer would be higher than the craft. But that requires an extremely high power engine. When the craft is accelerating to speed what is called "tau zero" or the speed of the light.
And the front of the craft is jumping forward, that thing should make it possible to travel faster than the speed of the light. But the fact is that if we would try to make that thing, the craft should dive into the black hole. But this is one version of the attempts to go around the Theories of Relativity.
