| Jun 19, 2019 at 0:40 | comment | added | Steve | FTL communication would not break physics - little or none of the formalism would have to be changed. It would however falsify the "block universe" interpretation of SR - we would then be left only with a Lorentzian interpretation still standing. | |

| Jun 18, 2019 at 19:41 | comment | added | PM 2Ring | Yes, FTL communication can lead to effects happening before causes in some frame. We already have a few good questions about it here. FWIW, Heinlein had to bend the rules of relativity to make that book work. But I liked it anyway when I read it decades ago. :) I re-read it a year or so ago, and still enjoyed it. | |
