 Re: special relativity

I was aware of the Lorentz contraction (spacial flattening) and it's involvement in the twins paradox. I chose to think of acceleration because it shows how L's measurement of R cuts off, as they pass light speed relative to each other. I figured it was safe because the big bang would mean that all objects would have had to accelerate to their current positions at one time or another. Here's another problem I've run into though: If two objects can be accelerated to faster than the speed of light relative to one another, what is the most you can accelerate? Say you start on Earth and accelerate to the speed of light away from it. Would you be able to keep going because you're still going less than the speed of light relative to a number of different objects?
