Furthermore, it does not allow the existence of anything that can exceed the light-speed limit. This is the main drawback of SR as it cannot account for anything near the extremes of its calculation ability. It also is just another way of showing the same properties that an Aether would have if that Aether was frame invariant. Your supposition that something that travels beyond light-speed has to be massless is based on this limited view of reality. It is difficult to relate how things change when you are limited to a set of parameters. Because the parameters of SR, GR and quantum theory have been thoroughly verified in certain ways (but not all) then it is important that any new theories fit with all of the existing verifications. It is therefore a primavera condition that anyone proposing a new theory know what is and isn’t a part of the existing ones. My Ultrawave theory (UT) deals with entities that travel at a fixed speed of 9E+16 m/s in small to large geodesics that have in integral mass. They cannot move that mass as a unit inside our normal space any faster than the speed of light. To create massive particles that can then be moved they do so with a combination of the 9E+16 m/s and the normal 3E+8 m/s of light-speed that essentially allow the particles to remain at rest within our normal space. This might sound strange to you, but if you saw the diagrams explaining how the wave propagates then it would make sense. The good thing about UT is that it does not contradict any proven aspect of current theories. It does postulate the existence of the 9E+16 m/s wave, which is the new idea, but that actually helps in the explanations of why SR seems to work as it does.
