7. I believe it is to make sure animals can't dig the coffin up and get to the body. Lots of animals are scavengers and will eat whatever they find.

39. It is impossible for anyone to travel the speed of light. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, very strange things start to happen when you approach the speed of light. Mass begins to increase. The closer you get to the speed of light, each additional increase in speed requires more and more increase in the mass. Of course the energy it takes to go faster increases too because that energy needs to supply the mass, too. As you reach the speed of light, ALL the energy goes into increasing mass, and therefore speed does not increase any more.
