The implication of this equation is that if a massive
object is near a relative speed of c, an impact with
an object in the same inertial frame as the observer
could potentially release nearly an infinite amount
of energy. Equally, to accelerate an object to c
would take an infinite amount of energy.
Is it possible that this is not be the case?
Anything is possible, however this can be experimentally verified
and is correct. Electrons have been accelerated to the point
that they are as difficult to accelerate along the path as
protons (relativistic mass roughly equal), yet are moving slower
than c. And all the energy is delivered up upon "capture".
