I was hoping for something like "Radio waves are protons which are massless and therefore is possible for them to exceed speed of light"

Protons have no mass? isn't their mass +1?

Nothing composed of energy or matter can go faster than the speed of light ok

Wrong, dumbass, otherwise we wouldn't have warp drives and shit. I mean, come on!

I don't know but foreplay seems to pass pretty quickly these days.

No foreplay -> faster than the speed of light. The sonic boom tends to wake me up, though.

afaik if you get closer to light speed your mass increases, so if you hit light speed you have an infinite mass.

but i can't argue the points in the article posted by the OP, it just seems like a bunch of bullshit to me

I think he meant to say "photons" not "protons". Photons are massless, and travel at the speed of light because photons are the "stuff" that light is made of.

It can be, depending on what units you are using.

Yeah I meant using Relative. Also concur on was the original posting meaning a photon not a proton. As anything with mass the energy required to put it at the speed of light tends to infinity according to E=mc^2.

Also 4x the speed of light is impossible.
