Um. No.
1) Never did I even slightly insinuate that anything can exceed the speed of light in vacuum.
2) Higgs Bosons do not travel faster than the speed of light in vacuum.
Just to be clear. I didn't mention relativistic mass in any previous discussion, but now it becomes pertinent. As something increases in speed, it also increases in mass by that gamma factor I calculated earlier. The result is that it takes more and more force to accelerate the object. As the speed of light is approached, the mass of the object approaches infinity, so that the following statement is true:
All of the energy in the universe is not enough to accelerate anything to the speed of light in vacuum.
