Well I'm no expert, but the theory of relativity states that light is the only thing that doesn't move relative to another thing. For example, if you saw light passing you by while you were moving 200 m/h, it would appear to be moving at the same speed as if you were moving at 100 m/h. So theoretically, warp speed would be accomplished by moving faster than the speed of light, essentially moving faster than time itself. But Einstein's theory actually states that nothing can move faster than the speed of light, let alone at the speed of light. And so far this seems true; scientists have particle accelerators that have reached about 99.8% the speed of light, but never actually at speed.
So in short, Einstein's theory of relativity, specifically the second postulate, does not make warp speed possible. As a matter of fact, it makes it impossible.
But like I said, I'm not an expert in any way, so don't take any of this too seriously.
One way in which "warp speed" could be achieved is by the bending of space time, so if you "bent" the space-time continuum in front of you, jumped in, traveled a bit then unbent the space time, then you could theoretically be a lot farther than you had not been inside the bend in the continuum. I think.
Einstein's theory of relativity replaced the Newtonian theory of gravity proposed by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton's theory described gravity as a force acting at a distance, whereas Einstein's theory described gravity as a curvature in spacetime caused by mass and energy.
For the Special Theory of Relativity, the basic postulates are:The relativity principle, i.e., laws of nature are the same for observers in different reference frames.The speed of light is the same for different observers.
According to the theory of relativity, it is not possible for anything with mass to travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
No, according to the theory of relativity, it is not possible for information to travel faster than the speed of light.
According to the theory of relativity, nothing with mass can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.

No. Energy, mass and light-speed, none of which involve pi.
Mass increases; time goes slower; distances (in the direction of movement) decrease.
According to the theory of relativity, it is not possible for anything with mass to travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
No, according to the theory of relativity, it is not possible for information to travel faster than the speed of light.
They're not false exactly, but become inaccurate and break down at high velocities (of the order of the speed of light). Einsteins theory of special relativity prooves this.
According to the theory of relativity, nothing with mass can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
According to the theory of relativity, nothing with mass can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
According to the theory of relativity, it is not possible for any object with mass to travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, which is about 186,282 miles per second.
