This could be more of a philosophical question than a physical one. Why can nothing go faster than the speed of light? Why do we need a speed limit? It seems like a strange and arbitrary concept. Looking at the history of discoveries in physics, everything seems to have it's place and to make sense in describing the world. And I don't say this to suggest a divine creator - far from it - but rather to say the world is generally constructed in a sensible way. Certainly discoveries have frequently surprised us, but they turned out to be necessary and fit in nicely. Is it necessary to have a speed limit?
