Default Speed OF Light

My Query is quite simple........


Why can't a body simply accelerate and exceed the velocity of light????????

Just increase the velocity by some m/s for some time to reach the C ....!

The kinetic energy goes to infinity as v approaches c. It's called
"Relativity".

Einstein's Special Relativity models what happens when one tries
to even get moving mass close to the speed of light. Relativistic
mass increases (without limit!) and therefore the energy required
does also.

The world is Lorentzian not Galilean Newton was incomplete.

The energy exchange is a gain in mass .
And C is the rate nergy reacts with energy.
Thats all the condutor will allow.

It could,
but only if you keep trying to find out how.

Yup,
sorta just like that.

Bull****.
and..
"Just a theory" is not realities limits.

Relativistic mass does not make something heavier and therefore need more energy to move,
only more energy to stop.
Sheesh!
Sam,
Open your mind and close the books for once.
Sheesh.

ROFLOL
That is complete crap coming from a time travel, false god worshipping, goof.

Does it burn, stooopid Space****, does it burn?

1) Where is the clock in the Mossbauer effect, Space****?

2) Fill in the following (the first one is mercy humped):

(+1)(+1) = +1
(-1)(+1) = ?
(+1)(-1) = ?
(-1)(-1) = ?
