Is there "thing" faster then speed of light?

Yes, it's possible. Quantum particles travel faster than light because when they "tunnel" through a barrier, it takes place faster than light. And it's been measured. Plus, quantum particles are able to communicate with each other instantaneously over distances.

According to the special theory of relativity, you can't start out with a speed less than that of light and go faster and faster until you pass the barrier because time stands still at the speed of light itself, while length contracts to nothing. But it's only the actual speed of light itself that marks this forbidden territory. If something existed that always traveled faster than light relative to us, it would travel backward in time.

There are, in fact, solutions to the equations of the special theory corresponding to particles which always travel faster than light. They have been called tachyons. Though still hypothetical and embarrassing to most physicists, they are not ruled out by the special theory.

Did u just make all that up?:)

theoretically, you can also travel instantly from one point to another in space if you bend the space-time continuum. You can then be in 2 points in space at the same time

Jokerman you crazy fucker lol :p

No nothing is faster than the speed of light

As a wise man once said "The only thing faster than the speed of light is the speed of dark".

As a body approaches the speed of light, it's mass increases exponentially so that as it reaches the speed of light, its mass is infinite and therefore it requires an infinite amound of energy to move, which is needless to say impossible. This doesn't mean that you can't travel faster than the speed of light, just that you can't travel at the speed of light.
