Very recent science is indicating that the speed of light is not the absolute limit that Einstein declared. This is especially true when the wave/particle duality of light is taken into effect. This is very frontier science, though, and is not widely known yet. (I didn't know it till I started researching for this thread, but I've seen references to it in too many locations to dismiss them. It's real science, just new.)
Also, there are ways to get around the limit, like
wormholes, which have been theorized in several places, such as their attachment or constitution of the singularity at the center of a black hole to
quantum tunneling, which is related to both the
Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and other effects that it predicts like
quantum entanglement. There are also theoretical particles that are capable of the feat, like
Tachyons.
For WM, wormholes are like holes in the fabric of space that allow you to jump from one place to another without passing through the in-between distance. If you imagine space as being on a flat piece of paper, then fold the piece of paper in half, you could move from the top of the piece to the bottom without going through the middle. See the links suggested for pictures.

There is clearly more to this than common wisdom allows, and it is a fascinating process watching the frontier science progress.
