I learned this lesson in the training, or Customer Education, department of high tech companies. For example, at my current employer (not the one whose “product” is visible in the computer display), when a customer buys our software, they automatically get a certain number of “training credits”. Spend more dollars on product and you get more training credits. Those credits can then used, and are valued, exactly like dollars except they can only be used for training. They expire in one year and, if not used, they’re gone.

The “limit” of the speed of light is an observational, or relative to something else, limit. That is, if you stand in your backyard and, looking up at the sky, observe something that is moving extremely fast (relative to you), you will be unable to measure (perceive) its velocity as greater than the speed of light. Also, at that same relative-to-you velocity, you would measure its mass as approaching infinity and, if there were a clock on-board that fast moving object, you would see that clock as nearly standing still.
