Which ones are they???. Even SR doesn't preclude objects travelling faster than light. That's the BIG misinterpretation of what Einstein said and a mistake that has been perpetrated and spread by most physicists since his time. What Einstein said, is that it is impossible for any material object to travel
through space
at the speed of light. The energy requirements rise asymptotically until they become infinite. However, there are solution to the equations in SR which allow for objects to always be travelling faster than light. However, these objects cannot
slow down to light speed because it takes infinite energy to slow them down to this speed. In order to travel faster, you reduce the amount of energy they have. At zero energy, they travel at infinite velocity (theoretically).
As interesting as the show will be, it'll be probably pushing the usual line.
