Yes, for Einstein's Theories nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. The equatons don't hold together. But isn't that what Einstein's Theories do to Newton's Theories? A whole new physics would have to be developed for speeds faster than light. Newton's Theories are good enough until you reach a significant fraction of the speed of light. Einstein's theories are fine until you reach the speed of light. Maybe someday a new Einstein will emerge and develop the theories necessary for faster than light travel.
