Einstein, Relativity & Spacetime!

3c‣ THE SPEED OF LIGHT =1 Billion km/hr‣ Another consequence of Special Relativity is that nothing cantravel faster than the speed of light. Any object with mass movingnear the speed of light would experience an increase in its mass.‣ That mass would approach infinity as it reached light speed andwould, therefore, require an infinite amount of energy to accelerate itto light speed. The fastest possible speed any form of information orforce (including gravity) can operate is at the speed of light.‣ The three strange effects of Special Relativity (shrinking lengths,slowing time, increasing mass) are only noticeable at speeds that aregreater than about ten percent of the speed of light. Numerousexperiments using very high-speed objects have shown that SpecialRelativity is correct.
