Mass is not equivalent to length,width,breadth or volume.So what do you have when you have infinite mass?You have the same size object that you had before infinite mass but now it has infinite (and increasing) mass.Energy is always turning in to mass in this object.Photons turning in to electrons.The electrons are not times one the velocity of light electrons anymore.They are times two the velocity of light electrons and are out of any system gravity.You could probably study Fermilab's target for particulate matter that has transisted or traveled the velocity of light.

No, it means an object (all objects have mass) cannot achieve light speed. The acceleration of an object depends on the force applied to it and its mass. If the force is constant and the mass of the object is increasing, then the acceleration is decreasing. So the closer the object gets to light speed, the slower the acceleration. Meaning that it takes longer and longer to add to the speed. You can get near to light speed, but not achieve it. Another way to say that is that the mass of the object becomes infinite at that point.

The funny thing about weight its one of the easiest things that proves its relative. relative.
Most belief depending on the scientific belief system about theories is that if it requires an enormous amount of energy for a particle to travel at near nearest velocity of light so will its mass increase is same way as its energy.. Of course I never got a response in my question of where doe the mass gets its additional mass.
The comparative test to this is a synchrotron Experiment. I was told that an electron can be accelerated to very very very close to the speed of light in at a very short time;howevera no scientific observation has confirmed that the electron mass has become infinite.
According to to Newton's theory a very large acceleration will give you a large weight increase. A large weight increase will warp space so much that its curvature would be very large.
However a large increase in mass implies a very small volume results.according to Einstein dimensions meter stick schrinking equation which say as you aproach the speed of light you shink.
This is all confusing to me also.
good luck

Mass increases at an increasing rate as you approach light speed. So at light speed, your mass would be infinite, requiring an infinite amount of energy to push it along. This is why you can't travel at light speed--it requires an infinite amount of energy.
Light can travel at light speed because it has no mass. So even if its mass increases by an infinite factor, it's mass is still zero..

first .. elementary don't have infinte mass, the purely project it has is photon , which commute in styles of say packets.. their mass is almost 0, yet not 0..its something between sturdy and wave. second : E=mc^2, skill if any mass travels with p.c. of C^2 (even as c=p.c. of sunshine),that mass will be switched over into ability.

NO!
Mass is an inherent property of an object, based on it's composition and density. Weight is dependent upon gravity. On Earth you might weigh 150 pounds, on the moon, you would weigh 30 pounds.
In space (without gravity) one becomes weightless, not massless.

It depends on whether there is gravity present. Weight = mass x gravity, so if the gravity is zero, the weight is zero. Otherwise, yes, the weight would be infinite.

ummmmm, sort of. Weight has to do with gravity. If you're not under the influence of gravity, then your weight is zero regardless of your mass. But you have the right idea--the more you weight, the more energy it takes to make you go faster. Likewise, the faster you go, the more energy it takes to make you go faster because your mass is increasing.

Mass is weight, so if it is infinite mass, then yes...
There is nothing with infinite mass though, even at light speed.

well at light speed, velocity is constant and hence acceleration is zero. Weight is mass* acceleration due to gravity. Hence, I beleive weight will become undefined
