The idea that the speed of light is an absolute "maximum speed" is as close to certain as anything within modern physics. A century of rigorous experimentation has failed to find any flaw in the idea. The fact that you are "not surprised" by this experimental result astounds me. Do you have any concept of how rigorously special relativity has been experimentally tested?
