    And in order for an object to accelerate to the speed of light, the energy required is infinite.
    If you were traveling at the speed of light and turned on a flash light, how fast would the light emitted from the flashlight be traveling? Such a scenario can't exist, because the concept of "space" is illusory. You can not travel faster than the speed of light because the speed which light travels at is a part of the innate mechanics of space itself that give value to notions like "speed" or "distance" in the first place. To be traveling faster than light would be to travel faster than the very thing giving 'traveling' any metric to begin with.

    This also leads to the conclusion that the speed of light is always locally constant.
