      I seem to remember that this idea was postulated sometime ago and that it was thought that Einstein wasn't wrong provided that the particle never went below the speed of light.

      Or something.

        I think you're right. Something about it taking an infinite amount of energy to accelerate to faster than light, and an infinite amount of energy to slow something to below the speed of light.

        Not sure how that fits with the theory that dark energy is pushing galaxies apart at an increasing rate and one day they'll go faster than light.
