Aug 10, 2016 at 23:02 comment added Selene Routley @jameslarge Yes I wholeheartedly agree, unless there is something blindingly obvious I'm missing (thought I was going a little mad when I saw "duplicate"). You can vote to reopen, although it would be good if the OP showed a little more research. Mind you, the question is a valid one, but also vague enough that someone without key knowledge would have trouble knowing where to begin.
Aug 10, 2016 at 13:35 comment added Solomon Slow The linked question is not a duplicate. The linked question talks about who decided that the speed of light is a universal constant and why. This question asks, How did Einstein get from "speed of light is a universal constant" to "nothing else can outrun a light signal."

Aug 10, 2016 at 11:19 comment added Peter Shor Does Einstein's theory of special relativity say that nothing can travel faster than light? I think what it really says is that only things with imaginary masses can travel faster than light.

Aug 10, 2016 at 10:30 comment added John Rennie Are you asking a historical question of how Einstein came to that conclusion, or are you asking a physocs question about why nothing can travel faster than light?
