Second, probable reason - 10-31-2006, 03:01 PM

Let’s assume that we can find some mechanism (some locomotive force) to accelerate solid body close to the speed of light.
What can we do with attractive forces among bodies?
(I definitely emphasize that solid heavenly bodies don’t attract each-other and I’m preparing an article about it, but that’s another matter and about that later…)
For now let’s assume that existing physics is right and solid matters attract each-other according to the formula F=γMm/r2, where γ is gravitational constant, M and m are masses of objects an r – distance between them, i.e. attractive gravitational force between objects is directly proportional to masses of objects, and inversely proportional to distance between them.
When mass of any randomly taken body within universe is increasing infinitely because of its speed-increase up to the speed of light (m~V), gravitational attractive forces among it and the rest bodies increase (F~m) infinitely! (I.e. increase of mass of body infinitely will surely increase gravitational binding forces among mentioned body and the other heavenly bodies of universe infinitely), so that would become insuperable, inhibitory obstacle for subsequent increase of mass (as well as of speed) of mentioned body…
But as for light, because of absence of mass it doesn’t experience the same attractive, binding influence from bodies of universe when traveling at such high speed…
