Newton's laws of motion break down at speeds approaching light speed because the speed of light represents a fundamental cosmic limit that Newton never encountered in his work with slower objects like horses and planets; this is analogous to how human muscles have a failure point where they can no longer lift weights, demonstrating that all physical systems have inherent limits beyond which classical physics no longer applies.

π₯ Can't Break Light Speed? Newton's Laws Fail HARD at Extremes! πποΈββοΈAdded:
That's it. No, it doesn't work that way.
Okay? Because the speed of light >> do it. The speed of light sets a limit unknown to Newton. Unknown. Right.
>> That there should be any such limit at all because he never dealt with anything going faster than running horses or just planets in orbit around their stars.
Okay? They're not going fast enough to manifest that failure of Newton's laws. Okay. You take Einstein's >> Love the way you put this. Bless your what? Well, no. It It's like people who work out and they say, "Work out to fail." Like in other words, you push the weight as far as you can until you just can't lift it anymore and that's the point of failure. You can lift that. You could, but you get to a point where Yeah, this doesn't work anymore.
>> the limits of your muscles.
So, now you're in a new
