I understand the equation E=MC2 was arrived at by Albert Einstein while imagining what would happen if mass or matter could attain the speed of light. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, and it seems there is nothing that could travel faster than the subatomic photon particle. Reducing mass evidently reduces the influence or force of gravity, thus light does travel quite fast--yet it has been demonstrated that light still could be slowed or bent by gravity, such as when it passes close to an object having a huge or strong gravitational force.
Now, I am unaware of any scientist holding the theory that anything could travel faster than the speed of light. But indeed there is, or there are:- Human thought, our imagination, our insights oftentimes outdistance and fly faster than light. In fact, distance is meaningless to us for we can think and imagine beyond the rim of our galaxy, beyond Arcturus, Andromeda, beyond the edge of our universe as fast and as easy as we wish. By way of amending Rene Descartes' proposition:- I think, and faster than the speed of light, my thoughts instantly reach my Transcendent God!
