Lightspeed - it s a history lesson

OK I figured out the deal with the speed of light. That is, why the speed of light is so slowwwww.

It is slow so we can look back in time and see how the cosmos has evolved. That's it - the reason for the slow lightspeed is that it is a history lesson. Without light being the limit, we couldn't figure out cosmology.

It is a great, yet subtle, design - yes I said design. That sez to me that going forward, the speed of light doesn't have to be the barrier to travel arouund the universe that it would seem. Whoever designed the history lesson would also design a way to move around this great wonderful place - we just need to figure it out.
