While there are definitely gaps in our understanding, the standard model of physics is one of the best scientific theories... ever. So we don't yet have a grand unified field theory, but for what we do understand, at reasonably attainable energy levels, there just isn't room to jam in some sort of faster-than-light communication or faster-than-light travel. If you look at how it all fits together, any sort of magic like that seems highly unlikely. Nothing we've observed in the sky, dating back billions of years, suggests FTL either. Until I see something that can even hint at FTL, I'm completely discounting it.
