Actually it is possible to go past the speed of light, just not the speed of light -in a vaccum-. IIRC the 2000 experiment didn't break c, just the speed of light elsewhere.

There's actually a specific type of radiation that you get when you break the local speed of light, much like the shock waves when you break the speed of sound.
