Do scientist think it is possible for anything to travel faster than the speed of light? Why or why not? What happens as an objective approaches the speed of light?

1. Debatable. 2. As an objective object approaches the speed of light, it gains mass. This is because E=MC^2, which holds that an object in motion continues to have more mass. At the speed of light this mass is infinite, therefore rendering the object immobile. 3. It is possible to get around by traveling at a speed slower than light, but diverting the light itself to a longer path.

well regarding the holographic universe theory, there was indeeed signs of things somohow able to communicate back and forth or send a signal to one another that travels faster than light it seems but then if this is a holographic universe and all things are just smaller parts of one whole, things are not traveling faster than light, they are able to communicate or send a signal through space anytime all at once instantaneously because they are part of one hologram, and a hologram holds all information in every bit of every little part of each thing that makes up the whole hologram.

There is however one thing that can travel faster than light: Information. Look up quantum entanglement. It proves information can travel faster than the speed of light (since it has no mass)

Current science says that nothing can travel at a speed at a speed, relative to another thing, that is equal to or greater than the speed of light. As watched by an observer, as a ship approaches the speed of light its mass increases, so its engines have to work harder to accelerate it, which they therefore do less well. The closer to the speed of light it gets, the faster its mass increases, so it would take an infinite amount of energy to reach the speed of light. And since it cannot reach the speed of light, it cannot exceed it.
