Yes, indeed there is. When I get up off the sofa and walk into the kitchen for a

glass of milk, I have accelerated at a higher rate than the acceleration of light,

since the speed of light is constant and it doesn't accelerate.

If, on the other hand, you're asking if any object has a speed higher than the speed of light, then the answer is a little more subtle. Relativity makes it clear that no object carrying information can travel faster than the speed of light. Until a few months ago, this "speed limit" seemed pretty safe.

Recent experiments at CERN suggest neutrinos going to Italy at a rate faster than the speed of light, but even the CERN experimenters admit they have probably made an error. It's just that nobody's been able to find the error yet.

Yes, the speed of light is the fastest thing known to man.


How is light faster that sound?

light is faster than sound simply because it is. With the possible exception of neutrinos, light is the fastest thing in the universe. There are, however, supersonic jets in use by the military.

Is there any particle faster than light?

According to scientific theories, there is no such thing which exists in the universe faster than light. Einstein proposed the theory that if scientists could make anything which can travel faster than light that that could travel in time or in other words scientist could actually make a time machine
