What is special about the speed of light? Why isnt it faster or slower?

Speed of light is relative to the observer. If you could take a rocket with a headlight and moved it at the speed of light it would appear different to someone on the ground than to someone on the rocket.

Speed and time are intertwined in ways you cannot eli5.
