Every time people have figured we're at the limit of something, it's shown to be very wrong.

Hence, my "it would seem" statement.  Apparently the speed of light in a vacuum is a limit, or so "it would seem".
After nearly 50 years, Secretariat stands as an outlier, like Bob Beaman's long jump record that was never broken.
OK, it would seem that is not a good example.

He was being counted on to win the race and become the first Triple Crown champion in 25 years -- the first of the television generation that had already put him on an unrealistic pedestal.
Secretariat's response went beyond unreal. He won by a jaw-dropping 31 lengths. His time of 2:24 for 1 1/2 miles set a world record many argue may never be broken.
