I’m not sure why you think traveling faster than the speed of light would
prohibit absorption or radiation of light, which would be the mechanism by
which we would detect it electromagnetically. 

And, wouldn't that pretty much be the death knell of the Theory of
Relativity, if 90% of the matter in the universe is travelling at
ultra-light speeds?    Also, couldn't all those sub-atomic particles
travelling unperceived at speeds faster than light effectively do away with
the ambiguities and uncertainties of Quantum Mechanics, 

I have no idea why you think this “solves” your perceived problems with
quantum mechanics. First off, quantum mechanics makes thousands of unique
predictions that agree with experimental observation. You’d have to show,
one by one, that those observations also are matched by quantitative
predictions from a faster-than-light particle theory. Can you do that?
