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?

Answer 1

It isn’t ruled out. But current theories cannot be based on unkowns or hypotheticals, and so far light is by far the fastest thing we can observe. Also there is good proof of the “speed of causality” which is the same as the speed of light, c. There is a lot of math and many years of experiments that re-enforce the idea that c is the speed limit of our universe
