There is no limit to how fast a man can travel.

If there is a speed barrier, whether it be scientific, dimensional, theoretical or mythical – Man will find a way to break through it.

Speed has always been the greatest and most rewarding challenge to Humanity. Not height, not length, not depth, not endurance or distance – but speed! Nothing slow has ever been rewarded. But the fastest anything is always celebrated, remembered, anticipated.

Why is this? What’s with Man’s obsession with speed? Perhaps the answer lies in the very fabric of our humanity. Maybe it’s because we all acknowledge, to our great sadness and denial, that our time on Earth is limited. It moves so fast, that there never seems to be enough of it to fulfill our goals, our needs, our fantasies, our passions.

The end comes too quickly, sometimes abruptly; the speed of our deaths becomes horrifying in relation to how long it takes to build anything meaningful.

Dr. John Belleci, one of the great educational minds of our time, once said: Time is a cruel master. It is a villain and a thief. . .like karma, they are both undefeated.

But can Man use speed to his advantage against his greatest and oldest nemesis - death?

Can a man be so fast that his life is actually extended and not curtailed? Perhaps the conquering of such a phenomenon can be the only way we shed our fear, our trepidation of death.

In order to go on, to be immortal, I believe we as a species must increase our velocity. We must stay ahead of the river of time before it can submerge us under its current.

Perhaps, there will be a time when it is not enough to be faster than speed. . .but to be speed itself.
