 Is it not true that if I were able to accelerate my cup of coffee at 
 light speeds 
 
 non sequitur.  acceleration = rate of change of speed. 
 
 at a frequency of 14Mhz 
 
 non sequitur.  frequency is not a measure of speed or acceleration. 
 
 my cup of coffee would radiate a 14Mhz carrier? 
 
 No.

 If the cup was to move 5 meters left, then 10 meters right, then ten meter  
 left again that would be one cylcle. There are 14 million cycles in one  
 second. So, net speed of cup is speed of light. 
 
Actually the frequency ought to be 15 Mhz.
