Some people say that one day we may travel faster than light, just like we traveled faster than sound claiming that they used to say that going faster than sound would never be possible and now they are saying that about going faster than light.

However, there was never any law of physics that prohibited going faster than sound. It was observed that there were things that did go faster than sound. It was merely believed that technology might never allow humans to go faster than sound. The light barrier is very different. If it could be broken, there would be something seriously wrong with our understanding of physics.

I have doubts that our version of humanity will make it that far.

Freddie Mercury was capable of travelling at the speed of light, according to the lyrics of this song.
