Yeah that’s the boring answer, it would just break apart. But even without physical limitations, mass has the property that it can’t be accelerared past c with a finite amount of energy, and I think it’s interesting to see why that limit is more fundamental than the structure of matter. No matter how you mess with forces using simple machines, the energy calculations always come out the same.
