So, don't be offended if this is a simple answer and I don't fully understand. But all of these theories seem to think that it would take infinite enrgy in order to go the speed of light. But from my simple understanding, If you take a little bit of energy, and keep it constant in space, your speed would gradually increase because open space has zero gravity/zero resistance. So if you use a constant small source of energy held constant for whatever amount of time then you would eventually reach the speed of light, then when you are about to reach that speed of light, use a large bust of energy to push the threshold.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
