According to the Relative Mass equation, in the special theory of relativity, “ the mass of any object is increase with the increase in speed of that object”
From equation, relativistic mass increase with the increase in speed of object
According to this equation as an object travels faster it becomes heavier and as the speed increases it becomes heavier and heavier, So, it became harder to achieve the acceleration for the body. Therefore, it never going to achieve the speed of light.
Watch this:
and then this,
Only massless particle-like photons can achieve the speed of light, because of its “zero mass”.
Some Main Points:
😊The special theory of relativity implies only particles with zero rest mass may travel at the speed of light.
😊Casimir vacuum and quantum tunnelling Special relativity postulates the speed of light in vacuum is invariant in inertial frames.
😊The physicists Günter Nimtz and Alfons Stahlhofen, of the University of Cologne, claim to own violated relativity experimentally by transmitting photons faster than the speed of light.
😊Heim theory In 1977, a paper on Heim theory theorized it may be possible to travel faster than light by using magnetic fields to enter a higher-dimensional space.
😊Faster-than-light communications and travel are the conjectural propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light.
😊”Can we back in time by moving faster than light?”. It breaks the causality(We see the event before happening)
However, it might be possible for an object to exist which always moves faster than light.

OH: According to the Relative Mass equation, in the special theory of relativity, “ the mass of any object is increase with the increase in speed of that object”
That is incorrect. in relativity mass is invariant, it has the same value at any speed. What increases to infinity with speed is the kinetic energy. Please update your understanding of the topic rather than using out-of-date sources.
