Among the physics light is always a amazing thing. The reason for this is the speed of light. We all know the exact speed of light in vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Light has so many theory in particle theory Newton stated that light is composed of corpuscles which has different color due to different size and in wave theory Christian Huygens proposed that light is wave and travel through a medium called Luminous Ether. Later the study of Michael Faraday inspired James Clerk Maxwell to study the EM radiation of light due to which it is found out that light is EM wave. In Quantum theory, Max Planck research that light travel in form of packet of energy known as Quanta.
In special theory of relativity, Albert Einstein stated that objects mass depends on its energy. He give a formula ( Img-1 ) according to which an object can not travel at the speed of light. If you observe the formula perfectly, you will know. The reason is, if an object is travelling at the speed of light its mass will be infinity. Which is impossible. If the object travel at the speed of light the time will become slow.

Indeed some scientist believe that there is a particle which can travel faster than speed of light. The particle is hypothetical but if it exist it will change of the law physics. There is no evidence of such particle. Gerald Feinberg proposed that tachyon can be quanta of quantum field with imaginary mass. To know more about tachyon. Click here.
