According to our current understanding of physics, it is impossible for an object with mass to reach or exceed the speed of light. This is a fundamental principle known as the speed limit of the universe.
If you were to attempt to catch up with a beam of light and move at the same speed, you would still perceive the light moving away from you at the speed of light. This is due to a phenomenon known as time dilation, which is a consequence of Einstein's theory of relativity.
As an object with mass accelerates, its energy and momentum increase. As the object approaches the speed of light, its energy and momentum also increase, but the increase in energy requires a corresponding increase in mass. As the mass of the object increases, it becomes more difficult to accelerate it further. In fact, the closer an object gets to the speed of light, the more energy is required to continue accelerating, and it would require an infinite amount of energy to reach or exceed the speed of light.
Furthermore, as an object with mass approaches the speed of light, time dilation occurs. This means that time passes more slowly for the moving object relative to a stationary observer. As the object's speed approaches the speed of light, time dilation becomes more pronounced, and the object's perception of time slows down. This effect prevents an object from ever reaching the speed of light from its own frame of reference.
These fundamental principles, supported by a wealth of experimental evidence, suggest that objects with mass cannot travel faster than the speed of light.
