Lots of people ganging up saying FTL is impossible in hard scifi. 1. Consistency Protection is seriously considered by some quantum mechanics proponents. https://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/fasterlight.php#ftlloophole https://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/fasterlight.ph... 2. I hereby authorize every hard scifi author to 1 (one) background impossibility per publication for the sake of plot development. Lack of FTL limits what stories can be told, and I'd rather have exploratory stories than 100% sticking to the rulebook. Break one rule to enable exploring the implications of all the others. Scifi is meant to be "what if" in nature.
