It would be easier to understand this speed limit if you didn't think in
terms of km/sec or miles/sec, but in Plancks Lengths per Planck Time. The
definition of light in Planck units is 1 Planck Length per 1 Planck Time.
Since there is nothing smaller than a Planck Length or a Planck Time, this
is the speed limit of the universe. If a Planck Length were half its
current size, then a Planck Time would also have to be half its current
size, therefore you end up with exactly the same speed all over again.

Planks are acting as photon transponder nodes?
You could think of it that way. Basically, each unit of Planck Length is
a unit of space, and a photon is a transfer of energy from one unit of
space to the next.

That's an aether.
"Unit of space" = particle spacing
