And what about the mass affecting space-time fiber? If an object with mass accelerates, it's mass increases accordingly. And when it approaches near the speed of light, it gains almost infinite mass, that means no matter what force is applied at the object, it can't gain the speed of light, because of the mass increment. And I have heard about an interesting theory about the Higgs boson, the particle "accused" for giving mass to things. It's more like ether(oh yeah, ether enters the physics once again) that prevents objects with that burden from moving without force applied(like photons).
