According to scientific theories, there is no such thing which exists in the universe faster than light. Einstein proposed the theory that if scientists could make anything which can travel faster than light that that could travel in time or in other words scientist could actually make a time machine

No. Faster than light travel is impossible in any case.


Which is faster the electric particle quantum or the speed of light?

The speed of light is the fastest any real particle can go (only massless particles like the photon can move at the speed of light, particles with nonzero mass must always move slower).However quantum mechanics allows virtual particles to move at any speed (even speeds much faster than the speed of light) but only if any such movement is undetectable (which is why they are called virtual).


What happens to the mass of a particle as the particle approacches the speed of light?

When any object with mass moves, no matter at what speed, its mass increases. The faster it moves, the faster its mass increases. And the closer to the speed of light it moves, the closer to infinity its mass grows.


Are there any galaxies that have travelled faster than the speed of light?

Travelling faster than the speed of light is not possible, therefore no galaxies have travelled or are travelling faster than the speed of light.

Is the plasma faster or slower than the speed of light?

Plasma is merely a material existing between gas and liquid states, and often has very high temperatures.fun facts:Nothing can move faster than the speed of light, as it is the highest speed there is. (unless you take into account the recent findings at CERN, where a particle actually appears to have moved sliiiightly faster)Nothing with mass (like plasma) can ever reach the speed of light, as the energy required to do so, would be infinte (a fun little quirk of Einsteins equations on the matter ;P)As a particle with mass approaches the light speed, the mass increases, so the amount of energy needed approaches infinty.


Why is the speed of light not higher?

The particle that is light is called the Photon. The photon is massless and can travel faster than any other particle because it has no mass. Any particle that has mass will require infinite energy to reach the velocity of light, which is impossible because the particle will have infinite mass in the process (Remember E=mc^2).


At what speed does a beta ray travel?

There's no such thing. Or, rather, it depends on the circumstances. It has to be less than the speed of light in a vacuum, but other than that restriction, it can be almost any value (including faster than the speed of light in the medium it's traveling in, in which case it emits Cerenkov radiation).
