The velocity of a massless particle in motion is equal to the speed of light(c).
For example, In vacuum, a moving rocket fully filled with fuel.
No-please learn special relativity. This isn’t a research topic anymore.
To start with, it is well established that massive particles cannot reach velocity c, so the question is not realistic. However much energy is communicated to a massive elementary particle such as the electron, it will not reach c.
need fuel to push and all fuel including light to rocket burning fuel use electromagnetic interaction to push which has limited speed of light. That is you can push at close to speed of light but not much force according to Newton and Einstein. But we can speculate that we can use antimatter to push all materials to speed of light which destroys all matter into light.
Thus there could be a paradox, if mass is infinite at speed of light then matter carries infinite energy, but if we use antimatter to react the matter it converts to limited energy mc^2 where m is it rest mass. What’s wrong?
Chinnataji Annamalai: "For example, In vacuum, a moving rocket fully filled with fuel".
From the above example, I observe the following facts:
When fuel energy is decreasing in the moving rocket with mass m (mass also decreases), light energy is being released from the moving rocket up to m =0.
Light can travel only from a source with mass m. For example, sunlight.
E = mc^2 = mvc = pc, where p is momentum of the rocket and v approaches c.
E=mc^2: E denotes the fiery energy(fire) and light energy of a moving body in general. If moving body is rigid, then E denote the kinetic energy of rigid body, where E = (mv^2) and v approaches c (velocity of light).
Arnab D. Thanks for your answer.
Please see the comment (Example mentioned by me): "For example, In vacuum, a moving rocket fully filled with fuel."
What is your reaction against the example mentioned above.
@ Eng. Arnab
Great answer! In the part in which you write about the constancy of mass with increasing speed. I even managed to prove it mathematically. In developing this topic, I highly recommend that you read my monograph “Superluminal Motion of Material Bodies,” (Сверхсветовое движение материальных тел) especially Section II on the invariance of mass at any speed of motion.
You can find the book at this link:

There is an electronic version of the book. I recommend it if this topic is really interesting to you and you want to receive additional information in this direction.
Well, or wait for the publication of my articles here on ResearchGate, based on the materials of this book.
I wish you success!
