Buffalo Horn guy is obviously an intelligent and well-spoken guy. Whether he is information or dis-information is hard to say. He just talked about traveling faster than the speed of light. In order for that to work, then Einstein's theory of special relativity has to be wrong. In the most basic terms - if it were possible to travel faster than the speed of light, it would be possible to observe events occurring before their causes. In addition, Einstein's theory specifies that as you travel closer to the speed of light, your mass increases, thus requiring more energy to go a little faster. To reach the speed of light, your mass would become infinite, which would take infinite energy.
Simply put, the speed of light (c) is the fastest velocity at which an object can travel in a vacuum. As an object moves, its mass also increases. Near the speed of light, the mass is so high that it reaches infinity, and would require infinite energy to move it, thus capping how fast an object can move. The only reason light moves at the speed it does is because photons, the quantum particles that make up light, have a mass of zero. https://www.space.com/36273-theory-special-relativity.html So who is right about this, Einstein or Buffalo Horn Guy? There is a loop hole in the Speed of Light speed limit though. What if there was a way to accelerate beyond the speed of light without ever travelling at the speed of light even for a moment? Think of it like avoid the sonic boom by instantly going from Mach 0.5 to Mach 1.5. The boom happens at Mach 1.0 only. Anyway, I have seen the patents and found them very curious. IIRC it was the Navy who held the patents. However this travelling faster than light stuff seems dubious to me. It could well be that Einstein's theory isn't quite right, I guess. For more information about causality and why traveling faster than C is impossible: (from the University of Pittsburgh) http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/teaching/HPS_0410/chapters/spacetime/index.html
Edit: What I said about the Sonic Boom was incorrect. The sonic boom does not happen only when you surpass the speed of sound.
