So is it like in a boardgame with a maximum number of actions per turn? If you use all your actions for movement you reach the maximum speed in the game (speed of light here) but you can't do anything else (produce, consume, buy, sell, etc.)
I'm sure actual physicists have a thousand observations that prove it's not a possible explanation.
But to me the concept is interesting in that it explains why there's time dilation, reference frames, warping of space, relativity, MOND, etc without any magic - epicycles that only exist from the viewpoint of speed of light being the center of the universe. They can never be reconciled with quantum if they don't actually exist.
