Currently our physics does not support the possibility of achieving light speed or surpassing it. I my uneducated language, (because the closer you get to light speed , the energy required increases at a faster pace than you are accelerating towards light speed.) Meaning infinite power would be needed to reach light speed and infinite is well not achievable by humans.
However, there is 1 thing moving faster than light speed. The expansion of the universe, and it is ever increasing in speed.
How? We do not know, but we call it dark energy.
In a few hundred thousand years our night sky will be void of any object outside of our solar system and the knowledge of the big bang and other galaxies could possibly be lost forever.
If there is any earth for people to inhabit and look at the shy and wonder.

Nothing can move through space faster than the speed of light. But it appears that space itself is expanding thus the universe appears to be expanding faster than the speed of light. As you said, we don’t know why, or how
However…if space can expand, perhaps it can be contracted (folded) where an object in space can exist in two places at one time, instantaneously. That would be the solution to interstellar travel

On December 19, 2025, the comet 3I/Atlas flew by Earth at a distance of 170 million miles at approx 135,000mph. A 2026 study estimated the comet as being about 12 billion years old.
Imagine flying around at 135,000mph for 12 billion years and never hitting anything.
That's 14.2 Quintillion miles. (14,200,920,000,000,000,000)
2.41 million light years
Roughly equivalent from traveling from Earth to the Andromeda Galaxy.
I agree. The universe is pretty empty.
