These drives don't violate causation, they warp space. Similar to the way expansion of the early universe could "move faster than the speed of light"


What happens if you're between the drive and the destination? Do you experience spatial contraction too?

If not then the spacecraft is traveling faster than 'c' with regard to everything not in its reference frame (right?). If this kind of thing is possible then the universe is considerably weirder than we thought even after a hundred years or so of QM.
