No, it does not. Nothing could be accelerated past the speed of light. As it approached the speed of light its mass would become infinite thereby requiring infinite energy. There were some results with neutrinos suggesting travel at faster than light speed, but it turned out to be due to experimental error.
What else can I help you with?
How fast do particles move in a particle accelerator?
The most advanced ones accelerate particles 99.9999% the speed of light. Although some people have claimed that they create black holes, they most certainly do not- this would require ten trillion times the energy available.
Are quarks traveling at the speed of light?
Quarks have not been observed to exist separately - they are "confined" within larger particles such as protons and neutrons, that are made up of several quarks (3 each, in the case of protons and neutrons).
Can traveling at the speed of light melt iron?
It isn't clear at all what you mean. In any case, it isn't possible to travel at the speed of light - except for specific particles, such as photons (pieces of light), which can ONLY travel at the speed of light.
Does a particle need to have an electrical charge to be used in a particle accelerator?
Yes, a particle used in a particle accelerator must have a charge to be useful in the device. Particle accelerators we use in high energy physics to investigate things all work by applying a moving or shifting magnetic field to accelerate charged particles. We speed these particles up by repeatedly "hitting" them with a magnetic field. Uncharged particles will not respond to this, and canot be used in the devices.
Is there any known thing that accelerates faster than light?
Yes, indeed there is. When I get up off the sofa and walk into the kitchen for a glass of milk, I have accelerated at a higher rate than the acceleration of light, since the speed of light is constant and it doesn't accelerate. ***** If, on the other hand, you're asking if any object has a speed higher than the speed of light, then the answer is a little more subtle. Relativity makes it clear that no object carrying information can travel faster than the speed of light. Until a few months ago, this "speed limit" seemed pretty safe. Recent experiments at CERN suggest neutrinos going to Italy at a rate faster than the speed of light, but even the CERN experimenters admit they have probably made an error. It's just that nobody's been able to find the error yet.
What are three things that a magnetic field may do to moving charged particles?
Accelerate the particle but not beyond C, the speed of light Decelerate the particle Divert the particle's path.
Does light create its own mass?
Light does not have mass. Remember, as an object's speed approaches the speed of light, its mass approaches infinity, therefore it will require infinite energy to accelerate something to the speed of light, therefore only massless particles can travel at light speed.
What are some basic principles of light?
Regardless of the inertial reference frame of the observer, the speed of light will always be measured as 'c', the speed of light. There is no adding or subtracting of speeds as there might by in Newtonian mechanics. Photons are massless particles. Light shows characteristics of particles, and it also shows characteristics of waves, depending on the methods of observation. This is in keeping with the quantum nature of light. As far as we currently know, and according to Relativity, no object in an inertial frame can accelerate to or beyond the speed of light as observed from the object's starting inertial frame. Light is the visible part of the very broad spectrum of electromagnetic radiation.
Does light speed accelerate or is it instantaneous velocity?
Instantaneous.
What causes light to accelerate?
Light does not accelerate. In a vacuum, light always travels at a constant speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, known as the speed of light. It only changes speed when it passes through different mediums.
Does light accelerate?
Light does not accelerate in the traditional sense, as it always travels at a constant speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This speed is a fundamental constant in physics known as the speed of light.
What are massless particles traveling the speed of light?
Massless particles traveling at the speed of light include photons, the particles of light. They have no rest mass and always move at the speed of light in a vacuum according to the theory of special relativity.
How do you use accelerate in a short sentence?
Try to accelerate slowly when leaving the stop light.
How meany pounds of force to get light speed?
To accelerate an object with mass to the speed of light, you would need an infinite amount of force, as the closer an object gets to the speed of light, the more energy it would need to accelerate further due to the laws of relativity. Additionally, as of our current understanding of physics, it is impossible for an object with mass to reach the speed of light.
Why is the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound?
One reason may be that light doesn't involve actual movement of particles (atoms or molecules in this case). It takes some time to accelerate a particle.One reason may be that light doesn't involve actual movement of particles (atoms or molecules in this case).

What travels at light speed besides engines?
Particles that have no mass, such as photons, travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. These particles exhibit wave-particle duality and can behave both as waves and particles. Light, as a form of electromagnetic radiation, also travels at the speed of light.
There is an upper limit on the speed of a particle This means that there is also an upper limit on its?
energy. As a particle's speed approaches the speed of light, its energy increases, but it cannot exceed a certain value. This limit is known as the speed of light, and particles with mass cannot travel at or beyond this speed.
