In the grand body of the universe and even our own solar system the speed of light is incredibly slow on the cosmic scale. Why does it have this speed limit ? It is theoretically possible to go faster than light ? Or is light just the fastest thing we have observed thus far ?

The speed of light is really the speed of causality and the speed of propagation of information.

Light is made of photons which are massless. As a consequence of their lack of mass they travel at the fastest speed possible in our universe.
