Scientists said on Thursday they recorded particles travelling faster than light - a finding that could overturn one of Einstein's fundamental laws of the universe.
Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the international group of researchers, said that measurements taken over three years showed neutrinos pumped from CERN near Geneva to Gran Sasso in Italy had arrived 60 nanoseconds quicker than light would have done.
"We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing," he said. "We now want colleagues to check them independently."

If I remember right, the equation allows super-luminal travel up to 3x the speed of light, then, your run into the same asymptote as at 1x.
The trick to hyperlight travel would be to jump over the asymptotes. The idea of warping space is that you shield the craft from these asymptotes so you don’t ever reach the point of infinite mass/infinite energy.
All we need is for someone to discover the way to breach the gap.
Here’s a fun development to watch.
