What is the answer to the "faster than light, no body, no weight" riddle?

The answer is a thought. A thought has no physical body or weight, never gets tired, and can travel to the farthest corner of the universe the instant you imagine it — effectively faster than light.

Why is a thought considered faster than light?

Light is the fastest physical thing, but a thought is not physical at all. You can picture a distant galaxy instantly, so in this riddle a thought outruns light because it moves through your imagination, not through space.

Is this an easy or hard riddle?

It is a medium-difficulty logic riddle. The clues (no body, no weight, never tires, reaches anywhere instantly) point away from physical things like sound or wind and toward something abstract.
