Due to alot of reason, i know alot of thing yet i also don't know thing that relate to something that i know..... this just happen to be one of them.

So back to topic, i need both easy and long answer to this.
 
"No kinetic energy for faster than light speeds: Kinetic energy calculated for faster than light objects, or more precise for objects for which v299792458m/s, is not considered legitimate. That is because the kinetic energy of an object, using the correct physical description through relativistic mechanics, would require infinite energy to reach the speed of light, and for objects above the speed of light the equations wouldn't return real values. Since the energy would approach infinity towards the speed of light it also isn't allowed to use relativistic speed as an approximation for the kinetic energy of faster than light objects, since by using an approximation close enough to the speed of light any given value could be reached through that method."
