Not with our current understand of physics. Even reaching the speed of light takes infinite amount of energy for things with mass. This is because the faster you go the more massive you become. Furthermore, even before reaching the speed of light you will become a black hole as more energy is added.

Things without mass, instead, can only travel at the speed of light (photons for instance).

Finally, there is a quirk in the math that would allow for the appearance of faster than light travel. If you compress the spacetime in front of you and expand it behind you you could can move faster than light without turning into a black hole or needing infinite energy (Google Alcubierre drive for more information). It is only an appearance than faster than light travel because you would still move at sub-luminal speed in your bubble of "normal" space time, but the compression/expansion effect would drag you through space-time at faster than light speed. This, however, require so called "exotic matter", ie matter with negative energy density (this is not anti-matter, but matter that has a repulsive gravitational field) and it is probably only a quirk of the math and nothing more.

No, the "speed of light", c, is actually the speed of energy and matter. Everything is always moving at this speed in 4-dimensional space-time. If you are not moving in space, you are moving through "time" at this speed. Since this is just the speed things move at, it makes no sense to discuss moving faster or slower than this speed.

Correct explanation!

Nothing can outpace photons (in vacuum, that is - in a medium, cf Cherenkov radiation). However, velocity is a surprisingly tricky concept. While the relative velocity of two objects passing each other by is well-defined, velocity at a distance tends to require a clock synchronization convention, which is to some degree arbitrary. In consequence, in special relativity, the speed of light is only isotropic by convention (cf various discussions about the one-way speed of light, which became a topic of online conversations due to Veritasium posting a video about it), and in general relativity, recession velocities (ie change in proper distance at constant cosmological time) of far away, but still observable galaxy can in fact formally be greater than c.

Well, if you take a really strong laser pointer and point it at the moon, than a flick of the wrist can make that point race faster along the moon's surface than the speed of light.

If I installed a really bright light source on two opposite ends of the observable universe and timed everything correctly, I could make it seems like the point traveled across the universe in a fraction of a second. Same idea, same flawed logic. Nothing actually moved.

But its not really a point thats traveling faster than speed of light. The individual photons that makes the point travel always at the speed of light from your laser pointer to the moon. Its not point on the moon thats traveling, the travel is just ilusion because it looks like the point that was there a split second ago.

Well, the 'point' is traveling faster than the speed of light.

You are quite right that no matter nor energy nor information is traveling faster than light here.

I am not sure how to define the point, but my way of thinking is that its not the same point. The point never moves, instead it continuously vanishes and a new point is being continuously made next to it.

That way, there really isnt a point that is traveling or moving, its just our perception mistaking it for a point because it looks and move like one.

Yes, I know all that.

The thing is that lots of our 'concrete' real world objects have more in common with the later pointer point than with physical reality. Concreteness is a bit of an illusion, it's all wave functions at the bottom.

(Of course, real world objects still can't go faster than light.)

Yeah, exactly this. If you think of it like waving a garden hose back and forth it's very clear why this is flawed logic. Also because of quantization the further away you put the target surface, to try to raise the "speed" of the not actually existing point, the more discontinuous it becomes.

if laser pointer was a gun, and you shoot the moon in one spot and then another, you just have 2 holes from 2 different bullets.
