What if you punch at the speed of light?

It travels at a steady rate of 186,282 miles (299,792 kilometers) per second. Even if it were physically possible to propel ourselves to such speeds (spoiler alert: it isn't), as you gain the necessary momentum to match the speed of light, your mass would become infinite.

What would happen if someone broke the speed of light?

The person traveling at the speed of light would experience a slowing of time. For that person, time would move slower than for someone who is not moving. Also, their field of vision would change drastically. The world would appear through a tunnel-shaped window in front of the aircraft in which they are traveling.

What happens if you punch at the speed of sound?

Anything exceeding the speed of sound creates a "sonic boom", not just airplanes. An airplane, a bullet, or the tip of a bullwhip can create this effect; they all produce a crack. This pressure change created by the sonic boom can be quite damaging.

Can humans beat the speed of light?

We can never reach the speed of light. Or, more accurately, we can never reach the speed of light in a vacuum. That is, the ultimate cosmic speed limit, of 299,792,458 m/s is unattainable for massive particles, and simultaneously is the speed that all massless particles must travel at.
