I didn't say anything about discoveries in fundamental physics. Regardless, the problem of FTL travel is still the same. It violates cause and effect.

- somenameforme 2y agoRight. I think many don't really appreciate the famous Einstein quotes many of us are familiar with. When Einstein referred to quantum entanglement as "spooky action at a distance" it was not in the context of describing it, but mocking it. Picture more like him making a face while adding some scare quotes to the quote. In fact Einstein rejected, to his death, what would come to be seen as the standard/Copenhagen model of quantum mechanics precisely because he refused to accept this apparent violation of causality, to which there remains no clear explanation.
