Many times, we explain natural impossibilities by mathematical impossibilities. It is true, that impossibilities in the mathematical formulas, like when the description of a natural situation leads to a division with zero shows natural impossibilities. However, mathematical impossibilities, even if it is a sign, are not the cause of natural impossibilities. We cannot understand nature only seeing it through mathematics. The maximum speed limit in space is a valid limit of the movement, but not because if we would move on that speed, the mathematical formulas would give impossible values. Mathematics is the tool to describe nature, not to explain it.

A maximum speed limit or any other natural impossibility demonstrates the properties of nature. If we want to understand these properties, if we want to understand nature, we cannot be satisfied with a mathematical description as the reason for that natural impossibility. It would not lead to a proper understanding of nature. We need to find the natural reason why that impossibility exists.

Why the maximum speed exists? The grid model is a kind of model, which is able to explain (without claiming that it is the valid model) what is the reason why the maximum speed exists. The grid model uses natural reasoning without the use of mathematical impossibility. Even if the grid model is invalid, there must be a natural cause instead of a mathematical deduction. We must search for the natural cause until we find it, and use mathematics as a description of nature instead of that is the cause.
