[Amendment10]

Note that everything in science is challengeable (imo) as evidenced by scientists who are questioning Einstein’s light speed theory.

Theory that challenges Einstein's physics could soon be put to the test

So what happened to scientific consensus concerning Einstein’s speed of light idea?

[Revolutionary]

Einstein was close. Nothing can exceed the local speed of light. But that local can be modified to exceed the equivalent speed of light. Just one analogy: If I am running at near the speed of light and I am pulling on a rope connected to a little red wagon at the other end of the field at a significant fraction of the speed of light; then I will reach the wagon in less time than it would take a beam from a flashlight to reach the same wagon at the end of the field.
