But is it possible to find a loophole in the universal speed limit? Can we skirt Einstein's theory of special relativity and travel faster than a beam of light?

Two decades later and I have developed a theory as to how and why it is not only possible to achieve light speed but to also achieve speeds that border on time-travel. Energy is the key, not acceleration potential. Big Al was right when dealing with rockets or conventional thrust ideas however FTL has nothing to do with either.
I am in agreement with you on that, I do think they are looking and experimenting in all the wrong places, if they are researching and using energy they aren't telling us now are they.
I think his theories will in time be viewed as either the pinnicle of 19th century physics or a dead end from the beginnings of 20th century physics.
Time will tell, his theroy is as good as any.
Blasphemy I know, but then again, it was his own work that lead me to where I'm at now. I also have to question whether he didn't figure it out and then back-peddle when he looked at where the world was at the time.
The world wasn't ready.
Why would say it's blasphemy, things get figured out from others work all time, you are going one step beyond and you may very well be right. Einsteins theories are now being questions and some debunked, he was a brilliant man and without his theories who knows where we would be today.
It still isn't.

It's a kind of paradox to fly faster then light. If you would move faster the light you fly away from earth, take a big telescope and look in to our past. That's absurd. Isn't it?
Remember, there's a critical component missing in all of Newton and Einstein's equations. You. Your point of view. So how can they be accurate?
I would venture to say nothing is impossible. Just not discovered yet.
