I disagree. Since the (well at least the IMP) is allowed to do so without a negative effect on the body and follows the aforementioned theories. Well it picks and chooses which parts of the theory it wants to follow, but it does follow the "steadily increasing mass".
Which is why I said theoretically it is possible, but making it feasible in a match is another thing entirely.
And going at "C" and going much faster than "C" to one's will is a totally different story altogether.
no, actually it does NOT follow the steadily increasing mass--at least not as the real world would have it. because his mass would become near infinite and would actually REACH infinity and he wouldn't be able to MOVE. does zoom also have >>>superman strength to move this supposed infinite mass gain around? and no, it does not hold that the SF is what allows this because they are travelling below light speed, AND superman has also achieved it. therefore ANYONE in the dcu should be able to do so.
special relativity is most certainly NOT adhered to, therefore any conclusion you can draw from said (real world) theory is false and nonsensical. if you want to ahere to the 'comicbook version' of said theory, that's all well and good, and i can live with that, but ackowledge it as such and with that in mind do not make real world conclusions that are clearly nonsensical, based on the comicbook version of the theory.
real world theory does allow us to pick and choose which parts we can apply. ALL parts are applied, or it is NOT the theory. if it is NOT the actual theory any conclusions drawn based on it are at best abstract speculation NOT based on theory, but based on opinion alone, and at worst delusionary.
