    Yes, it requires infinite energy for any mass to get to light speed.

    I don’t think our understanding of physics breaks down at such extremes though. I believe it’s decently understood, as in general and special relativity. I’m not a physicist though.

      It’s my understanding that whenever infinity is encountered, it means that our model doesn’t quite work.

      It may be the way it is with this particular model/equations/bit of physics, and it may simply indicate “Nope”. I suspect not though.
