I'm sorry - I'm not very educated, but this just rings as incorrect to me.

First, 186,000 squared (c, the speed of light, squared) isn't a speed, it's a value... (in E=mc2)

Second, nothing can accelerate past the speed of light, by my understanding... not nothing can accelerate at a speed greater than light.

Unless you have some form of evidence that contradicts this?
