The speed of light vacuum. Physical particles can travel FTL in medium like water.

"they are assuming, in my very humble opinion, that there are no new physics to be discovered on this issue"
I don't think that's the correct assumption at all. The gold standard is evidence. There is no evidence of new physics discovered on this issue in any physical theory of the known universe.
If there was evidence, theories would instantaneously ;) happen to explain it as we saw with the FTL neutrino joke.

Think about it. Once causality is broken, free will is also lost.
Good dissertation. But I was not arguing about what you've said.

Some physicist argue that the speed of light is equivalent to the speed of causality.
I don't believe the speed of light (SOL) is the ultimate speed possible. It's said that as you approach the speed of light time slows down. When you reach SOL time stops. IF time stops then how does light travel 186,000 miles for one second at all ? ? ? If time stops while traveling at the SOL then wouldn't you be everywhere all at once ? ? ?

Sorry but relativity doesn't really work that way.

Things can happen faster but they can't also transmit information.(The physics meaning)

You may have heard that Einstein's theory of special relativity imposes a cosmic speed limit.

I always wondered that myself. Inertia is your friend. That's how we reached the moon. We didn't burn fuel all the way there and all the way back. Good god, could imagine how much fuel that would have taken? Then there's satellites and an international space station just floating around in space.
Warp Drive is magic. Magic doesn't require energy. They lose warp all the time due to low fairy dust levels in the dilithium chambers for the matter-antimatter reactors.
