I'm scared to even go into Special Relativity cos it might screw your head right over.
In this equation, v is the velocity of a particle and c is the speed of light.
If you get your calculator out and you do any number divided by zero you get an error. Try it and see. The key component of this equation is v^2/c^2 and as v becomes larger than c problems occur with the theory.
Also, if you do a large number divided by a smaller number, you get a number greater than 1. And when you subtract a number greater than 1 from 1, you get a negative number and when you take the square root of a negative number, you land yourself in all sorts of bother, and also your calculator doesn't like it. Which is why according to Lorentz and Einstein no particle can travel faster than the speed of light.
When you plug values into this that suggest v is greater than c you see that according to the theory of special relativity, this is quite impossible. However, for all values where v is less than c this theory is absolutely fine. A bit like Classical Mechanics is fine is the macroscale world but when we go down to atomic scale, Classical mechanics struggles to explain such phenomena and likewise, when you go beyond the constraints of Quantum Mechanics, this also struggles to explain such phenomena.
So with my argument, there is no need to completely discard our current understanding of the universe, but rather, enhance our understanding and find a model that fits outside of the classical and quantum regions of theory and understanding.
