Boundary conditions on faster-than-light transportation systems
Gary L. Bennett, H. B. Knowles · 29th Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit · 1993
In order to be consistent with current physical theories, any proposal of a faster-than light (FTL) transportation system must satisfy several critical conditions. It must predict the mass, space, and time dimensional changes predicted by relativity physics when velocity falls below the speed of light. It must also not violate causality, and remain consistent with quantum physics in the limit of microscopic systems. It is also essential that the proposal conserve energy.
