Is there such thing as infinite magnitude of velocity?

Ideas?

No. The speed of light is the speed limit of the universe.

No. The speed of light is the speed limit of the universe.

In special relativity in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_cone_coordinates" you can have infinite speeds. In these special coordinates things start to look more like non-relativistic mechanics and QFT looks more like quantum mechanics.

Of course. Consider the vertex made by two straight edges, such as the edges of two sheets of paper. You can make the vertex move at infinite velocity if you choose the angle between the edges to be zero.
