How would you go about traveling faster than light?

Pure impossibility. No known method. Einstein's proof is that it is impossible.

Wormholes AREN'T superluminal travel anymore than taking a shortcut while driving on the road is speeding. Locally, nothing is traveling superluminal when using wormholes.

It's simple! Get a car that can go the speed of light. Then run it down a hill! 8^)

Actually, it's thought that nothing can go faster than the speed of light. It's kind of strange, no matter how fast you're going, light passes you at the speed of light as if you were standing still.

For sci fi stories where ships visit planetary systems in other galaxies, they had to figure out some way to travel at many times the speed of light. Because otherwise it would take millions of years to get there, and Kirk and Spock and McCoy would be . . .well, they'd be as old as they are now! 8^) But that's why they call it science -fiction-.

easy teleportation in millisecond would be a breakthough but you'd need a pont to get too for that
you could use the einstein solution to get to a place straight acrosse curve the distance

Well, Einstein's theory of relativity says that mater can't travel at the speed of light. But there is a theoretical sub atomic particle, the tachyon, that travels faster than the speed of light, but can't slow down to the speed of light or below. So, all you have to do is develop a machine that will change all the mater of your body into tachyons, which would then be traveling faster than the speed of light, and somewhere else, convert the tachyons back into mater that makes up your body. (Of course, you may leave your mind behind in the process :-)

an einstein rosen bridge. no way to travel faster than light in our normal 3 dimensions. read contact by carl sagan it kinnda explains how this might be possible on top of being one of th best literary sci fis of all time, have a great day!
