However, not only is it impossible to accelerate a mass to light speed, but it seems that anything that does travel at light speed (like light!) can only travel at that speed, no faster nor slower!

That is also untrue. It has been proven that light does slow down (not very much, mind you) when passing through media of varying density. i.e. it slows down when passing into water. it then speeds up when/if it exits the water again.
Regarding travelling at the speed of light, yeah, technically if you travelled exactly the speed of light time would theoretically stop. Of course, as has been mentioned, it's not possible to travel at that speed. My post was based on possible speeds
