It is for this reason alone that I do not believe the speed of light is an absolute limit.
Depends on what you mean IMO. You can’t accelerate to the speed of light, but current cosmology predicts “inflation” after the Big Bang that moved things apart faster than the speed of light by creating space between them. That is the most likely route for getting arouns the apeed of light limit. If we don’t nuke ourselves or suffer some other collapse od civthey might crack this nut in a few more centuries or eons...

I think that is the most likely route we have some clue about today for getting around the speed of light limit.

I for a long time have tended to believe, at least ask/question, the possibility that the accepted speed of light is not a universal descriptor for any and all phenomena/happenings in the totality of the universe. I am a strong admirer of Einstein and his perceptions. However, when I think of the vast expanse of the universe which has yet to be fully known and to accept a human derived, local expression/factor for this vast unknown/undefined existence seems it might be a bit to much. Obviously, the use of a constant speed of light in our frame of reference has proven very useful to exploring ‘nature’. It might be that the simple mathematical relationship is usable in the sense the value of units used are what changes in outer universe. For example, What we use as a ‘meter’ or a ‘second’ are only relative to our restricted space and knowledge.
