In our Universe, any attempt to exceed the speed of light, as viewed in any frame, by a particle with mass, will be defeated by the laws of the Universe we happen to live in. Whether or not we like that fact is irrelevent: that's the laws of this Universe.
It arises from the fact that an object getting close to the speed of light will get more and more massive as it gets closer and closer. Because of that, it will become harder and harder to make it go faster, as it takes more energy to accelerate an object with more mass.

In theory, however, it may be possible to come very close to the speed of light, like 99%, or 99.9%.
humans are un able to travel at the speed of light mainly due to the lack of any means of propulsion powerful enough to move any object with a mass...which basically means any object that has physical properties. however even if such propulsion was possible, the effects of traveling at such a speed on a human are somewhat un-known other than "not good" as studies from traveling at the speed of sound have shown

What is the first plane to overhaul Concorde speed?
The Concorde was the first and only supersonic passenger airliner. Many other airplanes -- mainly military -- before and after it far exceeded its speed.
Why is c the symbol for the speed of light?
According to Wikipedia, the symbol c, for the speed of light, originates from the Latin word celeritās, for speed.
What is the fastest speed with which anything can move?
speed of light
What was the average speed of a pirate ship in the 1700's?
10 knots=11.5 mph, but some ships might have exceeded at 12 knots=13.8 mph.
How fast did chariot go?
They travel to the speed of light? to it? and where exactly is the speed of light?
French meaning of exceeded?
Exceeded a speed limit Excede Exceeded expectations Surpasse
What is special about the speed of light?
you cant see it
What is the reason to use speed of light in the theory of relativity?
The theory of relativity uses light speed as the theoretical maximum speed of all things in the universe. A question posed Einstein himself is as follows: "If I were on a train travelling at light speed and I walked from the rear to the front, would I not have exceeded light speed?" Einstein: "No, the force you placed on the train in order to move foreward would have slowed the train a small amount, meaning that you would not exceed light speed"
What does it mean by critical speed of a compressor?
It's the speed at which, if exceeded, the compressor will fail.
Is there a point when velocity cant get bigger?
Yes - the speed of light. Nothing exceeds it.
Can any object move with the velocity comparable to the velocity of light?
Recently an experiment at the CERN has clocked a Neutrino that they believe EXCEEDED the speed of light. They are double checking the results of this experiment, and looking for explanations.
What happens to a body if it travels with a speed greater than velocity of light?
It is not possible for a body to travel faster than the speed of light. It isn't simply a matter of technological insufficiency; it's a fundamental physical limit. With the expenditure of sufficient energy, it is theoritically possible to approach the speed of light, but light speed cannot be achieved by any body with mass, hence neither can it be exceeded. I'm so bored
Where did big bang theory came from?
A super condensed primeval atom where the laws of physics dont apply and the speed of light can be exceeded thats the idiots definition does that answer your question?
How can the speed of a wave of sound or light be changed?
Actually it cant be changed unless you move it for the light and the sound is like in echos get it.
Will it ever be possible to exceed the speed of light because apparently neutrinos have been sent through Cern FTL?
The speed of light is exceeded by several things. Wave guides for instance. However all present theories preclude any information or mass to exceed the speed of light. Neutrinos have never been sent through the CERN collider at super-luminal velocities.
What does the word exceeded mean?
It means to go beyond something, such as driving over the speed limit would be exceeding the speed limit.
What if the speed of light traveled at the speed of sound?
You cant run with that speed. There will be no problem if you can.
