The Large Hadron Collider can accelerate protons to 99.9999991% the speed of light. Why can’t we reach 100%?
In: Physics
The more you accelerate, the more energy you need to accelerate further.
You add more energy and accelerate more. Now you need even more energy to accelerate even further.
You can do this indefinitely; you’ll get closer and closer to the speed of light but you’ll never reach it.
