Nothing CAN go faster than light. Take a yardstick, put a hinge at one end and a piece of paper on the table at the other end. Calculate the angular velocity as you slam it to the table. Measure the thickness of paper. Identify the intersection of top of paper (horizontal) and bottom of yardstick (hinged at far end) and derive the velocity of the intersection point at max angular velocity. You will find that for thin enough paper, that point, though not a physical object, is moving faster than C.

So Nothing, can go faster than light.
