Hi All,
I can not get my head around this.
If nothing can go near the speed of light then why can the below happen?
electrons travel near c
proton beams around the LHC travel at near c
as far as i know they both have mass and therefore should not be able to do this??
also if they do travel at such speeds, why would we not use them as space propulsion? (ie some way of ejecting electrons into space from the ship, or shooting a proton beam out the back from a particle accelorator)??
please help
