There are many ways we create stuff that gets up to or near the speed of light, without going over. Included in that are particles in accelerators, that just keep getting heavier as you add energy rather than go faster than the speed of light, in agreement with special relativity. The universe is a big place with all kinds of stupendously energetic processes taking place in it. If none of them produce anything that moves faster than the speed of light, you have to start thinking that that's the limit. It's not just a matter of no imagination.

Quantum Entanglement doesn't seem to care about the speed of light though, experiments are continuing with instantaneous communications.
This has been measured at distances proving it's effect is faster than light.
