The opining paragraph of this article is a bit odd. As the article explains later, no one has been taking Einstein's word for anything. Special Relativity has been constantly tested for the past century. Also, I think the example given for a violation of causality isn't particularly good. Nevertheless, this is a fairly good article for a weekend discussion.

Can anything travel faster than the speed of light? Absolutely.
Anything that God wants to travel faster than the speed of light!

Here is a possibility for this to occur. now mind you I am not a physicist, but an observer of some facts that have been introduced in some of the posts here.
'Light' is made of a variety of frequencies that depict color, from Infared(unseen) to X-ray(also useen)and all the colors in between. now, if it is possible to 'slow down' light and have that energy captured as a fuel for use in an engine, it should be possible to move the mass at the speed the frequency that you are using for the fuel. Theoretically, couldn't you move beyond the speed of light by combining two of these energy releasing frequencies at the same time?
