What has recently happened is the laws of the universe have changed.
Last year nothing could go faster than the speed of light. But now
the laws have changed, and things can go faster than light, and this
makes time travel possible.
So, it makes sense we now all of sudden begin finding "evidence" of
time travelers.

Can anyone explain exactly why light speed is light speed... ie, why its not faster or slower?
its just one of those constants in the universe.
energy with no mass travelling through a vacuum has a set speed in our universe. things only start changing when you start applying external factors like travelling through a non-vacuum e.g. through air or throw in gravity to the mix.
basically we don't know crap about true physics, our equations do not hold true for real world physics compared with quantum level physics.
meaning we use approximations which are close enough that it doesn't matter.

Here is what my fading memory recalls:
The speed of light is the balancing point between a magnetic-field wave and an electric-field wave. At this speed, a magnetic-field and its partnered electric-field self-reinforce each other (or "induce" each other.)
The magnetic-field and the electric-field always act exactly perpendicular to each other (a turn of 90 degrees). At an other speed, except the speed of light, these two fields collapse and dissipate. But at the speed of light they balance each other, and self-reinforce each other.
Furthermore, it takes both of these fields working together to induce forward propagation.
(or something like this...)

.
Total Distance = Space Distance - Time Distance
IF (Space Distance) - (Time Distance) = 0 THEN you are traveling at the Speed of Light.

Time Traveler From The Year 1998 Warns Nation Not To Elect Newt Gingrich
WASHINGTON—Saying he came bearing an important message from the past, a stranger from the year 1998 appeared on the Capitol steps Thursday and urged voters not to elect Newt Gingrich president in 2012. "In the late 20th century, Newt Gingrich is a complete disgrace!" said the time-traveling man, warning Americans that 14 years in the not-so-distant past, Gingrich becomes the only speaker in the history of the House of Representatives to be found guilty on ethics charges, and is later forced to resign. "In my time, he shuts down the federal government for 28 days because his feelings get hurt over having to sit at the back of Air Force One. Gingrich gets our president impeached for lying about marital infidelities when, at the same time, Gingrich himself is engaged in his own extramarital affairs. And for God's sake, he divorced his first wife after she was diagnosed with cancer. Won't anyone listen to me?!?" When asked about Donald Trump, the time-traveler said he had no information on the man, as no one from 1998 cared about a "washed-up fake millionaire."
