Electrons and atoms CAN'T travel at the speed of light, because there is no propulsion to push them that fast.
If we could develop some kind of propulsion, then they might be able to travel at c.
Ordinary fuels wouldn't be able to provide the energy needed, but manipulation of spacetime might be able to do so.

And this seem nice -----> http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/space/lectu…
Anyway, it's still way ahead of our current technology.

And, no, electrons cannot travel at the speed of light. You probably misunderstood him.

Electrons in atoms are traveling at about 2,200 kilometers per second.
That's less than 1% of the speed of light.

Electrons move through conductors at about a quarter of a milimeter per second.

If you add energy to electrons, they can speed up to 99.9% of c, but never 100%.

I love this question we know how to travle fast to go to distantant planet. U have to bend space the space in front of u. Nothing can accelarte at the spped of light also light has no mass if u travled at the spead of light and hit a pace of rubble the size of sand the enrgey from yo speed would make that little rubble into a exsplosive object. That's why a worm hole is the way travle

But the guys at CERN have found a particle that travels faster than light...implying that atoms and molecules CAN travel faster than light (as all particles are made up of atoms)
-
Anything that has mass cannot move at the speed of light. As you accelerate it to reach that speed, you'll only increase its mass instead. Only massless particles (such as photons) actually do travel at the speed of light.

You said "....won't be able to keep up with it." which sounds like *it* will be traveling at the speed of light but the atoms and electrons won't keep up. Question: What is "it" made out of, if not atoms and electrons?
-
Question doesn't make sense. NOTHING made of matter can travel at the speed of light, and that includes electrons, atoms, and anything larger.

It is possible, but highly likely that the ship would not maintain structure (like you suggested,) and if anyone were to be aboard, they would die in the process.
-
Yes, it is impossible.
