How can we make something move? The only way is to let something push on it. You might say that we can accellerate it by emitting stuff like a rocket does, but there are gases pushing on the inside of a rocket engine. Light is the fastest stuff that an object can get a boost from. The faster an object goes, the less energy it can get from a light source. If it travels as fast as the light, it can no longer absorb energy from the light. So nothing can travel faster than light.
