The question is not whether or not one can travel faster than the speed of light, but why is the speed of light limited to c? A more interesting question, that gets to the underlying assumptions. . .
That's a very good question that lies outside my knowledge to even attempt to answer. I know that it has been considered in physics in that last few decades, but I've been out of it for over 15 years, and am ignorant of any recent progress on that front. Maybe someone else can answer you, but it ain't me.
