Question

Why we cannot travel faster than light?

Answer 1

Time ran slower for the moving clocks just as Einstein predicted. So the faster something travels, the more massive it gets, and the more time slows – until you finally reach the speed of light, at which point time stops altogether, And so nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. This is according to experiments do by various scientists such as Galileo in 1638 and Bill Bertozzi in 1964.
