The given problem, reaching speed of light, has no solution. Sorry.Originally Posted by TaroBarkhan

An excursion into physics;
A phycial object that has a mass at rest can't move with the speed of light,
because it's mass would become infinite. And an object that has an infinite
mass can't move at all. One would need an infinite amount of energy to
accelerate an object up to the speed up light. But the energy in our universe
is finite (bounded). Allowing for an infinite amount of energy in the theory of
mathematical physics would render all physical equations useless, that is to
say; those equations won't pose a unique solution despite nature behaves in
a unique way.
