Heh... holding my breath! When they get to the speed of light (or over - not that it would not be worthy), let me know... Right now, I’m hiding under my bed waiting for the end of the world...

You cannot travel at the speed of light. Einstein's Theory of Relativity prohibits it. You may go around it by creating a mini black hole or wormhole.

In special relativity, while it is impossible in an inertial frame to accelerate an object to the speed of light, or for a massive object to move at the speed of light, it is not impossible for an object to exist which always moves faster than light. The hypothetical elementary particles that have this property are called tachyons.
