Why Can't Anything Travel Faster than Light?

Except the brain of a field theorist which can single-handedly keep the Tylenol industry in business for several decades.

If no time passes, how can light have a speed? It would already be whereever it's going. The very idea of going somewhere implies a time

The time base used to measure light speed is always that of the outside observer, where time passes as usual...

Then to say no time passes for the photon, the observer must be able to see things from the photons pov. Is this the case? Or is this just a dichotomy between observation and mathematical calculation that makes us think the photon sees things differently?

This reminds me of an old joke. 3 guys were discussin what isthe fastest thing...

One says, the fastest thing is human thought.
The second says the fastest thing is light.

The third says its diarhea. One doesn't have time to think or turn on the light.

Diarrhea Schmiarrhea. You haven't seen my blitzkrieg projectile vomiting performance a few weeks ago. That wall didn't even see it coming.

You'll win a Newtonian/Einstein Noble prize if you can formulate a theory for why bills travel through the mail faster than checks.
