if train moves at speed of light the passenger will do any work with very less speed as time becomes slow. why this happens?

The theory behind this concept is known as time dilation, which is a fundamental principle of Einstein's theory of relativity. It states that time is relative and can be affected by factors such as speed and gravity.
The speed of light is considered to be the maximum speed that anything can travel in the universe. As an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases and time slows down for that object from an outside observer's perspective. This is due to the fact that the energy required to propel an object at the speed of light becomes infinite.
Time dilation occurs from the perspective of an outside observer. To the observer, it appears that time is slowing down for the object moving at the speed of light. However, to the object itself, time continues to pass normally.
The theory of time dilation applies to any object moving at incredibly high speeds, not just trains. However, it is not possible for any object with mass to reach the speed of light, as this would require infinite energy.
While the concept of time dilation was initially proposed by Einstein in his theory of relativity, it has been proven through various experiments and observations. For example, atomic clocks that have been flown on high-speed jets have been found to tick slower than those on the ground, confirming the effects of time dilation.
