That speed, beyond which it is impossible to accelerate, is 299,792km a second.The power of accelerators has risen more than a thousandfold since the 1960s, and a hundred millionfold since the first cyclotron, a mere 30cm in circumference, was tested by Ernest Lawrence at the University of California, Berkeley in 1931.
