Eli5: Why is light that fastest possible thing?

If we know the exact speed of light then it’s clearly not infinite. If that’s the cause, what is preventing us from sending something faster then the speed of light( ignoring our current technology limitations).

We technically don’t know the speed of light (the one-way speed of light, that is). Derek from Veritasium explains it well here: https://youtu.be/pTn6Ewhb27k

It’s been a month since I’ve seen that video, so I don’t know if it’ll directly answer your question, but I thought it was interesting.
