I like that somebody called out that there is a lot of misinformation/crap around relativity and the speed of light.
The article points out that mass doesn't increase with velocity.
The next big lie is that nothing can go faster than the speed of light. One thing can: Me (or you from your point of view). The whole time dilation thing only happens to other things/people. I can accelerate to any velocity. The universe just won't let me observe anybody else going faster than the speed of light. It doesn't change the fact that I can accelerate well past c and get to alpha centauri as soon as I am willing to expell propellant for. It's only everybody else time will do wonky things for.
