Sure it is, which is easily proven by physics. But the physics we know of applies to what we know. There might be something completely different to what we&amp;#x27;re seeing&amp;#x2F;observing&amp;#x2F;theoritising with our smartest people and best equipment.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m not saying we can just go faster than C by advancing technology: I know it&amp;#x27;s limited by relativity and is not a matter of advancing tech.&lt;p&gt;What I&amp;#x27;m saying is that there will probably be advancements in physics and technology so that C limit will of course stay the same, but it will be the physics &lt;i&gt;inside the box&lt;/i&gt; whereas a complete new understanding of reality &lt;i&gt;outside the box&lt;/i&gt; would be discovered, where things can travel &amp;quot;faster&amp;quot; than C using other dimensions or something that we even haven&amp;#x27;t thought of yet &amp;quot;outside the box&amp;quot;, while still being perfectly compatible with the &amp;quot;regular&amp;quot; &amp;quot;inside the box&amp;quot; physics we love and use today, without violating and relativity rules of our classical physics.&lt;p&gt;Then they&amp;#x27;ll probably look back and just laugh at the people who thought C was the absolute limit to everything.</text></comment>
