Will anything travel faster than the Speed of Light?

Today, it is believed that the fastest thing to travel in this universe is light. So the question arrives, can this be proven or is there any material particle which can travel with the speed of light or greater than that.

To this day, the answer is: 'NO' due to Einstein theory of relativity . Using Einstein mass variation formula, it can be seen that if any thing travels with the speed of light or more than that, its mass becomes infinite and so does its energy which is practically not possible.

What Einstein mass variation formula say?

It says that if an object moving with a speed comparable to the speed of light then mass of the object will not remain constant:

If we assume that there is a particle which is travelling equal to or faster than speed of light then mathematically 'v=c' and the denominator will be zero which will give the whole answer equal to 'infinity'. This formula gives infinite mass and energy which is not practical.

Conclusion:
Up till now it is assumed that there is no material particle in the universe which is travelling with a speed even comparable to the maximum speed limit.
