Sorry to decredit my question with my love of the ford mustang, What im really trying to ask is WHY LIGHT? WHY NOT ANYTHING OTHER PARTICLES?

Light travels at c because it has no mass - it's pure energy. C is as fast as information can travel through space.
Neutrinos can travel at very nearly the speed of light. In fact, neutrinos from supernovas often reach us before the light does. This doesn't mean they are faster than light, though. They escape from the core as soon as it collapses, while the actual explosion occurs several hours later when the shock wave from the collapse reaches the outer part of the star. It was once though that neutrinos might also be massless, but it now appears that they have a very small mass.

That is a lie. There are indeed things that can travel faster than light. The only thing that can not travel faster than light is information, because there would be an effect without a cause. In response to your "Edit," The reason Light is approximatly the fastest thing is because it has the most energy per unit mass. A Photon, for instance, is extremely low in mass, and it IS energy. If there was something with the same energy as a photon and less mass, IT would then be the fastest-moving particle.

It just shines for example dark means evil and white means good.
just think the whole universe was created by the big bang or watever
i think that the universe expanded alot faster than light and
also the galaxies rotate very fast

it is the way of the world. There is always something at the top, and light isn't it. Look up dark matter, that is some interesting stuff.There, but not...

Light is so special in many ways.God created angels from light,and He created demons from fire (some sort of light)
Light is the foundations of many of our physics formula (E=mc2 *i cant find the power 2 key*) c=f lambda...and many more.
i dont know why light is so special...only God knows why

ur looking at it backwards.
if it was ford mustangs, you would ask 'why mustangs, why not light?'
