In the Velcro model of physics, energy is stored as size. This means that the addition of energy to a system will have the same effect as adding neutrinos to it. Viewed from outside, the ticks of the local clock slows down.
A spaceship being accelerated ever faster through space will never reach the speed of light relative to the outside reference frame because the local clock grinds to a halt. Its inertia goes to infinity.
Locally, nothing out of the ordinary can be detected. The slowing down of the clock correspond with a swelling up of matter. Acceleration is unchanged too. Calculated with a local clock and yardstick, acceleration remains constant.
However, when looking out into space from the spaceship, things look smaller and more frantic. Distances are shorter. The time to cross the void is reduced. Traveling at close to the speed of light, the astronauts arrive quickly at their destination.
