We all know that the speed of light is approx 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum and is a fundamental constant in the universe my question is why that speed, with which i mean what holds it at that speed and not allow it to go any faster? have i missed something obvious with this? any idea?

Yes you missed friend think How light comes? it comes from sun and result of gaseous reactions. Then they are likly to be said PHOTONS or charge electrons. Now their movement? photons are powered by contineous tail of more photons behind them. so they act like a wire for current.but they are not physical. Every photon is like an electron and it oxchanges energy from previouse which energy is acctually another photon _ ___-___________-________ | / \ | .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-(active photon) | _| active photon will take more photons over it and so on for infinity as the light source resides and so on they make a string of enery and these reaction happens so fast and hence displacement is heigh.
