Actually the same was thought of the speed of sound too... All these equations saying it's impossible supports the fact that you CANNOT move faster than the speed of light... BUT.. if there are aliens *which I believe, but not completely*, They must move faster than the speed of light to get here I'm sure... it's just a matter of getting the technology to be able to handle the kinds of things that happen.
Just like with sound... you CANNOT go faster than the speed of sound with a propeller driven aircraft... It's impossible to control it. You can travel faster than sound in it, but not survive it. Same is probably true with light...
Science video last year, dealt with speed of sound/light and Einstein's theories.
