    Well the quarks and gluons inside the protons always move as close to the speed of light as the Strong Force and Higgs Fields allow.

      Not looking for an argument just discussion. So your saying we have stuff on this earth that can move very close to the speed of light and yet we can’t even completely utilize it? Has there been any advancement in those fields, that would be applicable to the real world?

        Hell the air molecules in the room are moving near the speed of sound

        If you want to extract useful work from that, the problem is they all go in random directions and for really short distances.

        Same deal for subatomic particles.

        Entropy and thermodynamics. Very much worth the investment of time and effort to learn.
