Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that nothing with mass can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that special relativity forbids any object with mass from reaching or exceeding the speed of light in vacuum, with only massless particles able to travel at c.
