Is a Rocket at Light Speed Truly Infinite Mass?

[farolero]

I read some time ago a resume of the book the Crack In The Cosmic Egg and this is more or less what it told:

When a rocket acquires light speed its mass becomes infinite which creates a gravity force field that crunches all the universe making it restart.

Its argued that to propel a rocket to light speed you need infinite work but then your time is zero so let's check the equations:

Work=force by distance
Force=mass by acceleration
Acceleration=velocity by time

But time zero so velocity infinite so aceleration infinite so force infinite so work infinite

So how plausible do you think this book is?

If your description is accurate, not at all.

It's impossible to describe an object with mass traveling at the speed of light in relativity. So any conclusions drawn from relativity about what would happen if something with mass did travel at the speed of light are nonsense.

On these words of wisdom, thread closed.
