Not a physicist, but I thought that the closer an object (that has mass) gets to the speed of light its mass
increases rather than decreases. I thought that's why it's theoretically impossible to reach the speed of light - because as mass rises it takes more energy to accelerate, and eventually it'll take infinite energy in order to accelerate to the speed of light...

Very cool!!
Since we're already explaining/confusing ourselves with physics, let's see what this cool clip raises:
(I'm not comfortable with the strict conclusions this flick presents)
