relativity - Why can't we accelerate objects past the speed of light?



Is there any intuitive reasoning behind why there would be this universal speed limit? It just seems so arbitrary. I know that there must be things that are unknown, but what reasoning is there behind the existence of some limiting speed?


Edit: I really was asking more abstractly, why it makes sense for there to be a limit. It really is a question that can't be answered, but this isn't a duplicate.

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
