“...accelerated to almost light speed by distant supernova explosions...”
Would we ever be able to detect particles moving faster than the SOL?

Einstein stated that nothing can be accelerated to the speed of light. Nothing with mass anyway, as it would require an infinite amount of energy to do so, given that mass increases to infinity as objects approach light speed.
I've been raked over coals for saying this. And I have no proof or science. I have reviewed the formulas that "prove" faster than SOL is not possible. But the formula relies on assumed variables. The formula (if I remember correctly) says that faster than the SOL = Time travel. I say, yea, it's why we can't detect it. It happens ahead of an observable occassion. Duh! LOL
