Doesn't mass increase with speed? When you reach the speed of light, your mass is infinite?

No massive particle can travel at the speed of light.
And the mass of a particle is invariant in its own frame of reference (rest frame).
What varies is the mass in a frame of reference moving with respect to the rest frame. And this mass will be invariant if the relative motion does not change - ie if no force acts.

no only massless body can have velocity of light if mass is finite at rest at speed of light it has infinite effective mass having a zero in denominator.

When massive body travels at the speed of light it will become massless.

quite a meaningless question
if anything travels with the speed of light.. can u caluclate its mass
wats the mass of one single quanta...
uncertainity principle....
