The understanding I have read from various books such as those by Kip thorne,
Michio Kaku and a bunch of others is that the limiting factor for velocity is
the geometry of space-time. Nothing can travel in a perfectly straight line
because space and time (space-time) in higher dimensional geometry is bent,
curved or "warped" by large bodies of mass/energy such as stars and planets.
The orbits of the planets, asteroids and comets around our sun for example are
due to the warping or bending of space-time into "grooves called "worldlines" by
physicists. Black holes have a massive amount of mass/energy in nearly
infinitesimally small space causing maximal warping of space-time upon itself so
that it pinches itself off from the rest of the universe. This curious property
is what Kip Thorne used in theoretical work to create a wormhole. A wormhole is
just 2 black holes (or a black hole and its corresponding white hole, (which is
which is of course relative to the position of the observer). Because the
geometric constraint has been circumvented by the remarkable anomaly of black
holes, the "light barrier" or "geometric barrier" can then be superseded by
superliminal velocities. Such black holes could connect distant parts of the
universe, possibly various universes that are related by the Wave Function of
the Universe described by Stephen Hawking and connect various time periods (past
and future) of our universe(s) that are tied together by this Wave Function The
moment before the Big Bang was the entire universe as a singularity aka black
hole and thus the entire universe and its relationship to similar and dissimilar
universes is ruled by the dominance of quantum mechanics at such
atomic/subatomic scales which is why the universe must be quantize into the Wave
Function of the Universe mentioned above
