What most people consider possible/impossible isn't a very good way to judge certain things.
A bird and an airplane flying are a quantitative difference, not a qualitative difference.
Going faster than light is a qualitative difference to every single fact (observation) ever anywhere.
That doesn't make it impossible, but it does put constraints on and tell us, if it were possible, what it
can't look like.
Who said breaking the speed of sound was physically impossible? "People"?
