How come the theory of relativity is based on the hypothesis that matter can travel at the speed of light even though its never been accomplished?
Polyal
Actually Einstein postulated that nothing can travel at the speed of light. He theorized that as something approaches the speed of light its mass increases. This means that for something to travel at the speed of light it needs to have an infinite source of energy. The only things that can travel at the speed of light are particles that have no mass, otherwise known as photons.
