If true, it will help us develop new theories or more probably improve old theories. Then those theories could predict something we haven't observed yet, which would obviously be of great value.

AFAIK according to the theory of relativity, accelerating to the speed of light would require an infinite amount of energy. I think you don't really need to know more to understand why this is big (if true). Hoping to take the course in theory of relativity next spring so I can understand this better myself.
