The Large Hadron Collider can accelerate protons to 99.9999991% the speed of light. Why can’t we reach 100%?
In: Physics
Any particle with mass requires more energy to be added to accelerate it. This in effect gives it more mass so it takes even more energy to accelerate it. You can get closer and closer but you can never hit light speed.
Light, photons, have no mass. So they always travel at light speed and never anything less.
