It is is impossible to got the speed of light. IN astronomy, this is because the equation needed to measure mass increase (moving mass= (rest mass)/Square root(1-(v/c)^2, c=speed of light) becomes #/0 if the object's speed= 3x10^8. IN this sense, the result (#/0) translates to Moving mass=infinity. This means the object has infinate mass. To move infinte mass you would need infinate energy. THis is verified by tests in atom smashers. Subatomic particles have reached 0.9999c, but no further because to even reach these speeds simply requires too much power.

I was just explaining it to anyone who thinks "one day we can travel faster than the speed of light." I have a few friends like that (one of them scored really high on his SAT but averages c's and d's because he's lazy).

but thats not traveling

PROTIP: SATs are a really shitty indicator of both actual intelligence and learnedness in the ways of science.

SATs test your aptitude for taking standardized tests and little else.

PROTIP: SATs are worthless. Your friend is an idiot, and so are you for thinking he is smart.
