The speed of light is always what it is relative to any observer, and time dilation is the compensating factor that allows such an otherwise illogical condition. So you can't beat it, and the impossible math is why you can't go faster.
Still waiting on acceptance of time as the base dimension, rather than an emergent phenomenon. The theory gets rid of all those fiddly bits of "if any of these were just a hair different, the universe couldn't exist." It's unpopular enough that I can't find evidence of it. Maybe because it shuts down wormholes by forcing time to remain a very nearly flat plane, and makes string theory worthless.
