Absolutely true. Absolutely facinating. Especially the electron part, electrons have mass, which makes it even more interesting. Can you imagine being the scientists who were discovering that data arguing on either side of the conclusion. Must have been an interesting time to be doing science.
Also deep thought you are right, to get an object to near light speed its mass does mass does increase. As mass becomes infinite as you approach light speed, the energy to accelerate an infinite mass object becomes infinitely large and therefore impossible to reach light speed.

Reason: agreed with deep thought
