Is it possible for travelling at a speed more than the speed of light? Why

Solution

In other words, the faster an object moves, the greater its mass. ... If an object tries to travel186,000 miles per second, its mass becomes infinite, and so does the energy required to move it. For this reason, no normal object can travel as fast or faster than the speed of light.
Happily for relativity, you would STILL not actually be travelling faster than the speed of light in local space, so Einstein's 'speed limit' still holds. ... We really do not know what would happen to time when an object passes the speed of light.
It is not possible to travel at a speed greater than that of light as of now. No particle is found out which can defy this fact. As a particle gains velocity more than that of light, it's mass increases which is not practically feasible.
