"It is impossible for matter to travel at the speed of light, yes?"

isn't this an oft quoted erroneous conclusion?

I thought the correct statement was that matter could not accellerate to the speed of light. Thus something could instantaneously attain FTL/Light Speed velocity or come into existance travelling FTL/Light Speed?

Sorry, no idea. I don't know any details.
matter could not accelerate to the speed of light

That was Kevin Spacey's claim in the movie K-Pax.

For all I know, we're falling through time at the speed of light.
