We all know that it takes for ever to reach outer worlds and that we have been sending all kinds of waves ever since our scientific knowlege was developed, but it's just not fast enough to investigate other worlds. Can we send any kinds of waves faster than the speed of light or will we ever be able. Is anyone contracticting Mr. Enstein on this subject?

The only way we can do that is by sending the message through a "worm-hole" and be there an instant later. If you mean can it go faster than the speed of light, no. Einstein still rules on his account.

Unfortunately, not as far as we can tell, no.
The speed of light is the theoretical speed limit for anything in the universe, and it's only attained by light itself. For matter to reach the speed of light is effectively impossible, as it would require infinite energy.
However, there are theoretically wormholes that could transport objects (I'm not sure how light waves would do within them) through space and time, but as none has ever been observed to exist, I wouldn't count on getting that message there faster than the speed of light...and if you want it hand delivered, count on a hell of a lot longer....

Perhaps soon. But, for right now, there are millions of radio waves out there that have many messages. They are moving much fast than we are, or we could if we took a shuttle.

Possibly Tachyon particles.
If we can ever figure out if they exist or not.

No it can never happen except in science fiction!
