If energy causes to things to "move faster" would'nt the purest form of energy have the highest velocity of all matter, even faster than photons, or are photons the purest form of energy?

...have the highest velocity of all matter,
The highest velocity that light can travel at is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second, which is equivalent to 186,282 miles per second. This is known as the speed of light, and it is considered to be the fastest possible speed in the universe.
The speed of light is significantly higher than the speed of other matter. For example, the fastest known object created by humans, the Parker Solar Probe, travels at a speed of 692,000 kilometers per hour, while light travels at a speed of 1,079,252,848.8 kilometers per hour.
Light and energy are closely related, as light is a form of energy. Light is made up of tiny packets of energy called photons, which carry energy and travel at the speed of light. Other forms of energy, such as heat, sound, and electricity, can also be converted into light energy.
According to Einstein's theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. As an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases and it requires more and more energy to accelerate. Therefore, it is not possible for anything to surpass the speed of light.
The speed of light can vary depending on the medium it is traveling through. In a vacuum, light travels at its maximum speed of 299,792,458 meters per second. However, in other mediums such as air, water, or glass, the speed of light is slower due to interactions with particles in the medium. This is known as refraction.
