can light energy produce thrust for propulsion?yes.......it can be used for propulsion in future and can attain speed faster than light cancelling theory of relativity.researches are going on in NASA.........

yah i do think so ,one day this technology will be developed.light propulsion is of two type:
1.laser propulsion
2.microwave propulsion

yes i think so but the amount of thrust so devoloped is so little that the acceleration it produces is very small .however it is possible to accelerate almost upto the speed of light 9nearly0but this is so very dependen on being on the dorect path of light and also what ever craft is being proppelled this way can be vulnerable to change in it course due to gravitational and such sort of disturbances .beacause if it doesnt have any kind of alternate source of thrust it wont be able to correct itself
