My interpretation of this is that no matter how much energy you give the particle, its increase in mass will prevent it's velocity reaching or exceeding the speed of light. It also works the other way - a photon only has mass when travelling at the speed of light. Try and slow it down, and its mass shrinks down to zero.
    See.. this is why i love these discussions.. I always learn something new. So since the only concept of physics i have is what i watch online..does this "more mass = more energy required to move" also apply in a vaccume of space? And is this based assuming the theory of gravity is correct? Because I watched a documentary that eddie suggested awhile ago called "thunderbolts of the Gods".. and it does a great way of explaining the "electric universe theory".. which explains everything being held together via magnetic fields rather than gravity.. If it is indeed correct. (which i personally see as being more plausible than the gravity theory).. i feel like it opens so many more doors for "warp speed" and near instantaneous galactic travel. Tapping into "electric currents" on a universal scale.

    Dude are we talking about using this in a vacuum? Or just in a plain ass room?
