Have certain scientists in the past and present been artificially and unduly elevated to a celebrity position where they were/are revered by their peers, followers, and thus, laymen with no expertise in their fields, so that the statements of such people (no matter what they claim) could not be disputed?
People must learn to question what hey are told:
Have you ever pondered upon the Special Relativity Theory?
A vehicle traveling at a speed of v m/s for t seconds traveled a distance of x=vt . Suppose this vehicle had a mirror in the ceiling and floor. The passenger in the vehicle sees the light traveling from the floor to the ceiling at the luminal speed of c=3×10^8 m/s in T seconds for a distance of y=cT meters. An observer outside the vehicle sees the light traveling at the luminal speed for t seconds for a distance of z=ct meters when the light beam hits the ceiling. The assumption made here is that the situation can be described by a right triangle above and thus, the two (different) times, t and T, can be related by the Pythagorean Theorem as below:t=T/sqrt(1-(v/c)^2), where "sqrt" is a symbol we use here to indicate the square root.As v→c, the radicand 1-(v/c)^2→0, making the left-hand-side of the equation approach infinity. If v>c, the radicand 1-(v/c)^2<0, and thus an imaginary number in the denominator of the quantity. Hence, the assertion that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light is “proved.”
Regardless of the faulty assumption made in “proving” the theory, ..
the fact that I have sighted an object that accelerated to a superluminal speed from a stationary position ...
The fact that many other people in the world have sighted such phenomenon verifies the disproof of the theory multiple times.
Quote from: ResistETInterventionthe fact that I have sighted an object that accelerated to a superluminal speed from a stationary position ...No you haven't. What evidence do you have of this? What experiment did you do to demonstrate this? How did you measure the speed?
Quote from: ResistETInterventionThe fact that many other people in the world have sighted such phenomenon verifies the disproof of the theory multiple times.Utter garbage. Nobody takes claims like that on the face of it. The experiment must be described in detail and how the speed was measured must also be described in detail. If it can't be duplicated then it doesn't belong in science.
do you really want me to take you seriously?
We do not have the technology to measure any superluminal speeds.
Do you know what you'd observe if an object accelerated to a superluminal speed from a stationary position?
A hint here: you don't need a measuring device to know that it achieved a superluminal speed.
I sighted a brilliant spot of light completely stationary in a clear blue sky, which suddenly accelerated leaving a white trail of light tapering off towards a point where it "poof" disappeared. It achieved a superluminal speed from a velocity of zero within a second or two.
Here are some experts in your fields that you're more likely to rely on.

I have a good quality oscilloscope an the little spot on the screen will certainly move faster than the speed of light !
“Non-locality is the idea that this information between the two is transported or are instantly recognized regardless of what the other part is in the universe. Well, this kind of challenges Einstein’s concept that nothing moves faster than the speed of light. Here, we have validated that this is absolutely true - that it does. How this happens, the methodology, and the mechanism for it is still very elusive, but the fact that it does happen – that’s not in question any more.”

Firstly, non-locality is just one interpretation of what QM experiments may be telling us. Secondly, Special Relativity doesn't explicitly prohibit FTL travel, it prohibits acceleration from below light speed to light speed or beyond; also, the potential non-locality demonstrated by EPR entangled particle experiments doesn't challenge SR because it doesn't involve information transfer - which is an indication that it may only be the appearance of non-locality; alternative interpretations (e.g. abandoning either local realism or the possibility of making definite statements about a system without measuring it) are possible. This is not to say it's all understood, but it certainly won't be understood if the analysis is based on faulty propositions.
What went wrong in the proof of the theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light?....
The phenomena of time dilation can be derived from the two postulates of special relativity, namely, Principle of Relativity - The laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of referenceLight Postulate - The speed of light in an inertial frame of reference is independent of the source
