This is what causes things in the universe to break down and change. It's the reason why nothing in the universe seems to be eternal. To figure out a way to beat the law of entropy would be to conquer death itself.
Eradicating these diseases will likely take technology and coordination that doesn't exist today but if we succeeded it would greatly improve the human condition.

General relativity states that the speed of light is a universal constant that sets a limit on how fast we can travel through space. It might be possible build ships that warp space and time to overcome this speed limit (NASA is researching this). But right now it only exists in science fiction (star trek).
