Causality is a more intuitive law than light speed limitations so than likely a TV show break one but not the another. but yes if you got an [[StarTrekenterprise]] you have a [[DoctorWho tardis]]. It\'s ElephantInTheLivingRoom it\'s so in the FTL page

\\\'\\\'There is, according to special relativity, a fundamental reason why FTL travel is not possible: because of the non-intuitive way Einstein\\\'s theory works, FTL travel would always imply time travel, and potential violations of causality itself. This would hold true regardless of which exact method is being used to get around the light-speed limit. The vast majority of works that involve FTL ignore this problem outright, without even attempting a hand-wave.\\\'\\\'
