It is true.
A charge cannot be made to move at >c between the plates of a condensor (which
is effectively what an accelerator is).
It requires infinfite energy to raise its speed to c wrt those plates.
The reason: the charge's own movement creates a reverse field that subtracts
from the applied field. The associated energy is contained in 'Wilson's reverse
field bubble' that is carried along with the charge.

Major scientific discoveries shouldn't be referred to as 'hilarious' but
throughout history, that has frequently happened.

Unfortunate, no?  :-(
