there's no fucking way that the speed of light is the universal speed limit.

What the fuck is the point of this if the speed of light is a hard cap? There isn't. Everything points to some sort of simulation/game. If we had the resources and tech, we would do the exact same and make a "fun" version of our current experience.

>inb4 muh "wormhole". good luck finding one and/or making one anywhere close to us.
