Why/how is light the fastest thing in the universe and nothing else can be faster?

Question

Why have we ruled out the possibility of finding something faster when we’ve only scratched the surface of space exploration and understanding?

I don’t think the answer is “Nothing can travel faster than light”, but rather “Whatever that can travel across space the fastest, happens to be light”. If something can travel faster than whatever that claims to travel the fastest, then it’ll create all sorts of problems and paradoxes.

We’re just supposing that nothing can go faster than the speed of light, because everything would make sense that way. We don’t “know” that this is true, but we’re just supposing that it is. And all we’re saying is, “Ehh, it seems to be true, because it makes sense”.
