Re: The mass-velocity relationship and the light speed speed limit.

Even an infinitesimal particle approaching the speed of light would have
enough momentum to go over the speed of light because its increasing
mass would increase its momentum.

This does not mean that a particle or any object cannot exceed the observable speed of light.
"There will therefore exist an unsurpassable limit speed that will extend to all particles and all the laws of physics".
Doctor Richard Hachel.
If you accelerate a body by only 10 meters per second (Earth's gravity), you will realize that after four or five years, compared to you, it will have already exceeded the speed of light by five times.
But you will not be able to observe it moving faster than c.
Your observation of the speed will "squeeze" more and more, according to the equation between the observable speed and the real speed:
Vo = Vr / sqrt (1 + Vr² / c²)
This is due to the inescapable nature of the relationship between space and time.
