You can't accelerate anything to the speed of light without an infinite amount of energy. It just takes more and more energy to get closer to that speed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light#/media/File:Lor...

There's no finite level of kinetic energy at which the speed of an object exceeds c.

If this were reddit I would've upvoted you, but this kind of cleverness should, if it constitutes the whole post, should be left to reddit.
Now, should this thread ultimately hehehe a discussion on the virtues and approaches to creating mixtapes it would be another thing, but at this point in time I'm not seeing this as a positive contribution to discussion. That is why I downvoted your genuinely amusing comment.

I believe you mean, "There's no finite level of kinetic energy at which the speed of an object equals c."
Exceeding c is, of course, not known to be possible at all, even with infinite energy.

Would also add to this that ideas about what "temperature" means change when you are switching between equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics. In nonequilibrium thermodynamics a bunch of your equations go out the window, like the Boltzmann distribution, and all of the rules built on top of that which are many.

#19What is "simple english" below languages? Never seen this before.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_English_Wikipedia It is an intentionally simplified version of English. Although, in this case, the meaning of the article seems to have been affected by the simplification. The English version makes it clear that this is a theoretical concept, whereas the Simple English version makes it sound like something concrete/absolute.
Ironically, I found the Simple English articles I tried to read harder to understand than the regular ones. Interesting concept, though.

Not that I disagree with you, but I should point out that it's a reference to the video "Absolute hot" of the YouTube channel "Casually explained".
