We cannot reach the speed of light because division by zero equals infinity?

Question

ATTENTION!
Relativistic mass equals initial mass divided by square root of 1 minus squared speed divided by squared speed of light

If speed equals the speed of light, the equation becomes

Relativistic mass equals the initial mass divided by square root of 1 minus the squared speed of light divided by itself.

It equals the initial mass divided by square root of 1 minus 1

square root of 1 minus 1 is zero

relativistic mass of an object travelling at the speed of light becomes its initial mass divided by zero

1 or any other number divided by a number approaching zero 0,0000000000001
equals a number approaching infinity 10000000000000

therefore, theoretically, division by zero equal infinity

Division by zero results logically from the above operation, but is undefined in algebra

However, Einstein's time dilation, mass dilation equations
involve division by zero for objects travelling at the speed of light





1 or any other finite number divided by 0 = infinity

logically results

0 multiplied by infinity equals 1 or any other number you want

0 multiplied by infinity has no definition in mathematics as it can equal anything, but it has in religion

To create one or more apples from nothing, God used infinite power to instantly add an infinite amount of zero apples

0 apples + 0 apples + ... + zero apples = one or more apples

____________

By default, an infinite amount of zero apples equals zero apples. That is why an infinite amount of non-existent apples doesn't just suddenly pop up into existence without an intervention

Under the influence of infinite power, however, the result changes

Answer 1

You're not supposed to be smoking that.

Answer 2

I am not real clear on the point you are trying to make. The reason we cannot reach the speed of light is not based on a version of the Lorentz Transformation. The Lorentz Transformation as applied here is in fact based on the observation that you cannot reach the speed of light. Your logic is reversed.



The entire notion of Einstein's work on Special Relativity is built on the observation - not the theory, but the actual direct measurement - that the speed of light is constant regardless of the relative motion of the observer or the source. This means that as you travel away from the Sun at 99% of the speed of light (relative to the Sun), the light from the Sun will still pass you at precisely the speed of light - relative to you. That's not an illusion, and it's not a mathematical manipulation. It's just the way things work. It means that you cannot catch those photons, because they will always pass you at the speed of light. You can apply all the power you want, but it will not change the way this universe works. You may be able to get around it by leaving this universe, but that is a mission that I will not volunteer for.



The point here is, you are no closer to actually reaching the speed of light in a powerful spacecraft than you are while seated on your front porch watching the sun go down.



If you are trying to make the point that matter cannot pop into existence without intervention, then you should perhaps consider returning your computer, since it is required at the quantum level of reality in order to allow that particular piece of equipment to function properly.

Answer 3

Einstein did not say mass can reach the speed of light. He speaks in terms of mass approaching the speed of light. Light can reach the speed of light, but mass cannot. Using an enormous amount of energy that is equal to all the energy on earth, a baseball in a rocket can get close to the speed of light. Also review limits in calculus where it states division by 0 is infinity.

Answer 4

Zero is not a number and only an abstract idea. There cannot be an infinity or zero but the symbol helps fourth graders understand columns of ten.

Answer 5

Within our singularity universe there are really only two things, static matter and continuously expanding time and space. Also within the singularity at the subatomic level is energy (E), which is the static matter (m) directly conflicting with the continuously expanding time and space (c) and this interaction is expressed as E=mc^2.



m can never be equal to c.
