The Large Hadron Collider can accelerate protons to 99.9999991% the speed of light. Why can’t we reach 100%?

To speed up an object with mass, you need energy.
The closer you get the object to the speed of light, the more energy you need.

For this reason, nothing with mass can get to the speed of f light.
Light can, because it has no mass.
