    Would the speed of light still be the same in a black hole?

    According to Einstein's theory mass expands as it nears the speed of light. Once an object reaches the speed of light, which cannot happen according to Einstein's theory, supposedly the mass of the object would reach infinity. With that said, why can people from 'Star Trek' travel faster than the speed of light?

    How come the speed of light is constant while everything else has a speed limit? What makes this certain type of energy exempt from all other outside influences?
