Which consequence results when relativistic kinetic energy increases beyond predicted?

💡 Explanation

As kinetic energy input rises, relativistic effects increase the mass toward near-infinite momentum because the Lorentz transformation limits the speed, therefore the particle speed approaches, but does not exceed, light speed, rather than the mass exponentially increasing.
