Is there such thing as infinite magnitude of velocity?

Ideas?

No. The speed of light is the speed limit of the universe.

No. The speed of light is the speed limit of the universe.

In special relativity in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_cone_coordinates" you can have infinite speeds. In these special coordinates things start to look more like non-relativistic mechanics and QFT looks more like quantum mechanics.

Ideas?

Of course. Consider the vertex made by two straight edges, such as the edges of two sheets of paper. You can make the vertex move at infinite velocity if you choose the angle between the edges to be zero.

The concept of infinite magnitude of velocity is a theoretical concept that is not supported by current scientific understanding. According to the laws of physics, the maximum velocity that can be achieved by an object is the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. This is a fundamental limit that has been observed and confirmed through numerous experiments and observations.

Furthermore, as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases and it requires an infinite amount of energy to accelerate it further. This is known as the theory of relativity and is a fundamental principle in modern physics.

Therefore, while the idea of infinite magnitude of velocity may seem intriguing, it is not supported by scientific evidence and is not a concept that can be observed or measured in the physical world.
