I won't be the one to solve it, but we thought the sound barrier was unbreakable a few centuries ago. I won't underestimate human ingenuity.

I think more likely is we figure out wormholes. If we can't go light speed we can instead fold space like a piece of paper and reduce the space we need to Traverse. That may or may not be as easy as FTL.



Wormholes imply time travel in much the same way as FTL. There is no escape from this, for very simple geometric reasons.


If space compression is time travel, sure. It's not like we can't time travel right now (to the future).

I obviously don't have the finer details in line.
