Sick Video I Want to See
You know how there's a quiet fan film genre that takes popular songs and video clips and puts them together into a wide array of music videos?
Picture it.
Clips from every show featuring a faster-than-light or would-be faster-than-light vehicle. Specifically, clips of the vehicle accellerating, then blowing up, disintegrating, or otherwise suffering the gravest of perils or failures.
The song? "I fought the law, and the law won."
This Lunatic idea has been brought to us by the bumper sticker on the Lunatic's door, which reads: 186,000 miles/second. It's not just a good idea, it's the law.

Actually, I've collected at least 5 different ways to achieve FTL travel that don't violate the laws of physics as we know them. There are "a few little engineering and technical details" to work out, of course [weg], but the theory is sound.
*My* problem, as always, is that if I ever get my hands on one of them it'll be a trivial exercise to turn the darned thing into a *time machine*. And no matter how desperately I want FTL to be real, I refuse to believe in time travel.
Which makes me think that maybe FTL won't work after all. *grumble*
Oh, and *CUTE* idea! If you or anyone else ever *does* that, I want a copy! (Even if I do find it depressing!)

If one went into the past and attempted to kill one's grandparent (typical example), one would simply find one's self unable to do so. No way to know what stopped you from doing it, but obviously you already didn't do it, because you *exist* and therefore we already know you failed. ^_^

Re:
Branching timelines is an entirely separate viewpoint, and also involves no paradox. In that new universe which one would have created, one would never be born, but since you yourself came from a *different* future universe, you still failed to kill of the ancestor in *that* universe - you have now killed someone entirely unconnected to you.
I was not arguing that it is strictly impossible to kill "your grandparent", just using that as an description of my theory of the impossibility of creating paradox.
