Do you know of any experimental evidence that there is not a finite upper limit on the kinetic energy of a mass at light speed or beyond. Keeping in mind that unless some one has managed light speed,then no such evidence in either direction exist. All is theory until proven to be fact.

Yes, all the measurements of the energy required to accelerate particles to high fractions of c show exponentially greater energy as one approaches c.  No drop off in that exponential climb has shown up.

A simple electric motor draws far more power than it dose once it reaches running speed. Whats to say the same dosnt happen at light speed. Accelerating particals with an external energy source is far different to that where the energy source travels with the partical.

Quote: Faster-than-light (also superluminal or FTL) communication and travel refer to the propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light. Under the special theory of relativity, a particle (that has rest mass) with subluminal velocity needs infinite energy to accelerate to the speed of light, although special relativity does not forbid the existence of particles that travel faster than light at all times (tachyons).

There are no experiments I know of at relativistic velocities that do anything but conform to: Kinetic Energy = m_REST*c²*(1/((1-v²/c²)^0.5) - 1).

Indeed it would. But as we are traveling through space at a very high speed,our point of observation would be continually changing.

I agree.

You guys are way off topic.... and a lil ignorant  Besides, I have no doubt about Tinman being able to travel FTL, considering the proven fact that he can harvest energy that is yet to be generated in the near future, as seen in vid 1 ... BTW. How's that going, any updates?
