> Light reaching earth from a distant star may have traveled 300 million light years to reach our eye, so there has to be something faster that light, so that the universe can be managed.

That may be possible. I think the theory of relativity is no conclusive proof that nothing can travel faster than light. However, no evidence has been found yet that such a thing really exists.

Consider, too, the problems of "simultaneity" according to the Special Theory of Relativity. Basically, if something travels faster than light according to a person on Earth, it would reach its destination before it departs, according to another observer.

While there is no conclusive proof against time travel either, that does pose a series of problems, as readers of science fiction are well aware.

Well, I am sure that at least in the long term, humanity will continue to learn, both physical sciences and spiritual truths.
