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

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”.

PBS spacetime has a good video on how light is really the speed of casaulity and explains

Light is the fastest thing in the universe because it is made up of massless particles called photons that can move at the maximum speed allowed by the laws of physics.

Its going as fast as the fabric of the universe will allow anything to move. Its not that light is special, its just something that illustrates the upper limit of speed in our universe. If the speed limit were faster, light would move faster.
