I read the real ( peer reviewed ) paper, and it contradicts your ideas. Your final conclusion is a strawman argument. Those quotes are referring to normal travel through space.

You are clinging to light cones because that is what you know about relativity, but you don't understand it intuitively. I didn't get any new information from you last comment, just what has already been said. Warp and light cones

Does it matter to avoid USA if someone is taping into the cable in a different country.

Article republished by the author’s permission. I guess that is one way to write articles.

The light cone only matters if you actually move. The accepted idioms from relativity don't apply here. I think we are just not talking about the same "warp" drive. The version that doesn't violate causality works like t

You assume that warp drive actually moves you trough space, it doesn't. Problem solved. Here is a practical example: I decide to travel to Alpha Centauri, and I'm there. Time passed for everybody is the same. You cannot cause any

I was referring to sub c speeds and what happens by using real confirmed physics. I didn't realize you were talking about warp drives in that case. As far as I understand from popular science, warp drive doesn't actually move the

If by those you mean people who are actually traveling in the star-ships, then it is a short time. It is only a long time for people staying stationary relative to the travelers.

Well that is clearly not true. Thanks to relativity, colonization is very possible in a short time span.

Yes. They don't know if the string ONETIMEPAD was produced by the key AAAAAAAAAA or GHASDIJAWE. And thus they don't know if ONETIMEPAD is actually the plaintext or not.
