Q:

Could the Heisenberg uncertainty principle be derived from the speed of light limit?

Background:
As I was thinking about an alternative approach to the question: "why is there a finite speed of light, and why its magnitude corresponds to c?" –ultimately, I was trying to understand from which more fundamental theory could the electromagnetic permeability and permittivity of vacuum be derived from, as I share the view that only dimensionless constants are truly fundamental–, I felt on these papers (here and here) which seem to suggest that the speed of light is originated from the quantum properties of vacuum, more precisely, to the magnetization and polarization of fermion pairs in a quantum vacuum model. As far as I know, the existence of those short-lived (so-called) virtual particle pairs is made possible by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (further reading).
I couldn't help but wonder if one could take the other way round, namely, if one could start from the special relativity principle which imposes c as the maximum speed of transmission of information/interaction and, by logical inference, find the necessity of an uncertainty principle which allows the existence of virtual particles pairs, that is, of quantum fluctuations in vacuum.
As I am relatively new to these subjects (I am still at the undergraduate level), and I suspect my reasoning to be in some way inconsistent, I would appreciate the opinion of any more knowledgeable person. Also, please excuse any misunderstanding of the underlying physics.
My question is, then:
Could this link between the uncertainty principle and the finite speed of light be envisageable? If it were, could it act as a conceptual connection between the principles of special relativity and quantum mechanics? If not, which logical problems would it encounter?
P.S.:
I also found this similar discussion on ResearchGate, which could be useful to anyone interested on answering this question.

A:

Classical special relativity satisfies the speed-of-light-limit but not the uncertainty principle.  So no.   

A:

In Research Gate it is a very bad discussion mainly based on a couple of articles in a Journal on physics by a the Center for Innovative Research. The main editor seems to be someone doing microelectronics in India. To me the whole Center and the articles seem totally unreputable. If you can find a reputable scientific organization publishing anything like that Please refer to it. If not the best thing in my mind is to totally remove this reference.
The question posed here could still be valid, but I think not. Virtual particles are a construct of QFT, which already includes c as part of it as needed to make QFT Lorentz invariant. QFT already assumes c, and also the uncertainty principle, which came from Quantum Mechanics. They cannot be derived from each other. So, before you have the concept of virtual particles in QFT you need both c and QM. Virtual particles can not be used to prove anything about c nor about the uncertainty principle. You are twisting physics around.
The other references cited about how c may come from those virtual particles talks about charged particles as the virtual particles. It is mostly speculative. Anyway, since that comes from electromagnetism it applies only to photons. But special relativity with c as the limit has been proven also for neutral particles. So those other references also makes no difference.
