Someday I expect that we'll get around the crazy notion that nothing CAN go faster than light because if it did it would be going backwards in time. The proper way to express the current knowledge is that we don't KNOW of anything which travels faster than light in a vacuum under natural conditions. Neither do we KNOW about the consequences of superluminal velocities. The light speed limit is analogous to saying that nothing can accelerate faster than dropped objects on Earth, when you haven't been to Jupiter. Local space-time continua are artificially controllable, we just don't know how to do that. To make another analogy, think of water flowing through pipes, with flow rate controlled by varying pipe radii.
