Whata you say? I know I for one would really be interested in what you come up with.

Claude,
I have a much more expansive view of this issue than you give me credit for.
Instead of invoking Minkowski space diagrams (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_diagram ) that show very clearly why exceeding the speed of light results in paradoxes, experimental particle physics gives a practical demonstration of why it is impossible to accelerate particles up to the speed of light and beyond.
My previous post would serve as a "hypothesis" which ultimately highlights the futility of using ever increasing amounts of energy in an attempt to accelerate particles up to c.
