We can never out run the light we see?
We can never out run the light we see. (c)
However it is conceivable that we could travel much faster than 299 792 458 meters / second.
The current understanding in this matter (by almost all) is incorrect.
At first glance it would appear even Einstein was (shall we say) "a little wobbly."
Can any of you guys : show me I'm wrong?
I posted this in answer to another question, but it will give you a guide.
Example :
In my advanced prototype craft, I'm using the gravity of progressively more massive stars to catapult myself ever faster toward my goal : A Super massive black hole. On almost skimming the Event horizon of said... my speedometer is now reading 99.9999%of c.
For health and safety reasons... my heading is toward an area of space which appears void of stars, after what seems like weeks have passed... I realise the void really is "void of anything" I have nothing to take bearing from. My speedo still reads 99.9999% c.
My health appears to be normal, my reaction speed, heart beat, everything is as if I'm still sitting at home.
Now bored, and apparently suicidal. (or just to prove a point ) I decide to suit up and exit my craft.
Am I torn from my ship at 99.9999 of c? " Nah... am I heck," I'm simply floating next to my beautiful craft, held by my gently magnetic boots.
Th
The lights on my ship are still reaching my eyes at c and... just being curious, I check my wristwatch... yes, its still ticking one tick every second.
I fire my laser hand gun into deep space and the beam thereof leaves me at a rate of c, I have made no impact on the speed of light. (my speedometer still shows 99.9999 %)
Now : for this question, we just rewind a little and instead of using the S M Black hole to catapult away we go into an orbital free_fall still doing 99.9999% c .
I give my thrusters a tiny fire and begin my descent, the event horizon (not being a physical boundary) offers no resistance, because I'm already doing 99.9999% c the steady increase of momentum (inverse square) soon results in my trusty speedo indicating my rate to now be exceeding 300,000 km per second, I have broken the so called speed limit and I still feel like I'm floating.

You will see relativity has not been compromised, the math has already been done.
We need to open our eyes, we need to not only look... but to see.
I can do : it can you?
"It's all simple : all of it."

All the best.
Read the question at no time do I make any impact on the speed of light : c.
No matter what my own speed : be it 10 km/ second, 100,000 km / second, 100,000,000 km / second, the light from my laser will always leave me at c (light speed) At this time I don't give a jot about a third party's reference frame : in my accelerating frame of reference my clock ticks at exactly one tick per second, my mass according to my measurement / my scale, is as it was. I understand special relativity, your knowledge very likely precedes my own, but I have understanding, there's a difference, knowledge without understanding is useless.
There is no speed limit : "the speed of light is independent of motion."
