Einstein based his theory on the maximum speed at which information can propogate. That's always been assumed to be the speed of light (photons). It may be possible that there is something else that can propogate information faster (e.g. neutrinos). There would still be an upper speed limit, but it wouldn't be the one we thought it was :)
