If you are asking if it's possible for an object to travel at a velocity faster than c, then the standard model of physics doesn't allow for that.
It might be possible for particles to change their location in space by travelling through wormholes or through an Einstein-Rosen bridge, or maybe with enough energy you could contract space in front of an object. Those are all highly theoretical, but it should also be noted that in those cases are you aren't actually applying a velocity in excess of c through space.

Traveling faster than the speed of light is possible, but not in a traditional sense. Current theories say that the only way to do it would be to 'warp space'. This is seen in a lot of science fiction movies and is actually theoretically possible. The best explination I have seen on light speed is found in "The Elegant Universe". It explains that light has all of its energy in motion and none in mass. Meaning that things that have mass can only go so fast, before they are maxed out.

Perhaps, but it would require something exotic or a change in current accepted theories to happen. Under existing theories it is impossible to accellerate beyond the speed of light. They do not rule out particles that always travel faster though!
There is also the question of a perfered location or direction. General relativity main tennant is that there is no perfered location or direction. So if you travelled faster than light that would amount to time travel. If general relativity is wrong and there is a perfered direction or location then you could define time absolutly and then be able to travel faster than light without time travel.

Our scientific instruments measure a constant speed of light in the universe because the instruments themselves are made from a form of light (matter) that is locked into a specific dimensional relationship or resonance pattern with that constant; however there are an infinite number of light harmonics (speeds of light), each one existing as a universal resonance pattern, and overlapping all the others within the same holographic plane. One plane, many speeds, all containing the same holographic reflection of the universe.
Matter, as we experience it in the physical universe, may not travel faster than light, for that would negate the purpose of its design, but matter as information may be transfered through or around space, or it can be translated into a vibrational form that does not hold the same conditional barriers. This is a key to human evolution. In either case, it is not a matter of achieving greater velocity, but of manipulating the condition or spacial relationship of matter.
The answer is yes, however it is not necessary to know how to manipulate mass in the way described to "go" faster than light, for awareness and consciousness itself is able to do this. What is described here is not a product of instrumental observation, but the experience of unlimited perception.
It is partially the belief that the speed of light is constant, and that we are limited by the condition of our matter based bodies, that humanity experiences the illusion of time and separation from the greater spectrum of reality. Light, from all aspects of the past, present and future, is always arriving in the present moment, always. All time is simultaneous. Therefore, there is no distance spatially or temporally to the observation of a human being freed from the illusion of linear time. For this reason, speed is irrelevant.
It is our ability to be present with the full spectrum of reality that our bodies are capable of perceiving that will give us a window into the infinite. We must achieve this state together, before we begin to travel, however the means to expand beyond the contruct of space/time is already waiting for us. The barrier to faster than light travel is not technological, but psychological. Our souls know how to travel beyond the light barrier. Find the soul and free yourself from the belief that we are just physical bodies. Then the path that will lead us beyond the light barrier will be revealed.

No. according to Einstein's Special theory of relativity, nothing can. However, it is possible to travel apparently "faster" than the speed of light if wormholes are used. wormholes are rips in the 4D world that connect 2 points in the universe that are otherwise very far away, like a short cut from 1 point to another.

In earlier times people (even scientists) stated that it wasn't possible to go faster than the speed of sound. Later it was proved that this speed could INDEED be reached. Therefore I believe the speed of light could be beaten after all light travels at DIFFERENT speeds (wavelengths). Anything is possible!

No.
It is completely impossible and always will be.
This is inconvenient if you want to live in the world of star trek. This is where the idea of warping space comes from (or wormholes). You STILL do NOT travel faster than light, bu space gets bent so that there is a shortcut to where you are going.
Unfortunately, though wormholes are a mathematical solution to the Einstein field equations, these solution have no physical reality in our universe. I.e. they do NOT exist.

Not yet. If you can travel faster than light at 3.0x10^8 meters/second, then you can "time travel." [time travel meaning that you won't relive everything, but you could see what happened in the past on like a hugh "projector."] No one could survive such intense speeds at this time in history.

THE LIGHT IS FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF SOUND.IF ANY BODY SAY ANYTHING SO WE LISTEN THIS IN 1/2 SECONDS BUT LIGHT IS MOST FASTER THAN THE SOUND SO THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT WE GO FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT.
