| Apr 8, 2019 at 14:07 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | The more I consider this question the more I wonder, do your space bullies use causality breaking tech themselves which they hoard and don't let other civilizations develop, or do they try to completely suppress the tech to make sure it is never used? Also, how do they detect, report, and pursue offenders of causality breaches? | |

| Apr 6, 2019 at 18:14 | comment | added | TheDyingOfLight | @Eth Wormholes connecting through time and space and physically disallowing closed loops is a great concept indeed. Is that the Luke Campbell from Poject Roh, the atomic rockets website? | |
| Apr 6, 2019 at 18:06 | comment | added | TheDyingOfLight | @jdunlop The wormholes are fixed in close orbits near the central black holes of galaxies. They are unchanging and reakt hostile to any attempt of tinkering by weaponizing the editing wave. Ups, I meant omniscient. xD | |
| Apr 5, 2019 at 11:04 | comment | added | Eth | You may want to see what Dr Luke Campbell did with wormhole networks to keep his VergeWorlds setting relativity- and causality-compliant. Those three sections are especially of interest there. | |

| Apr 4, 2019 at 20:34 | comment | added | jdunlop | Also, did you mean "omniscient" rather than "omnivorous"? | |
| Apr 4, 2019 at 20:32 | comment | added | jdunlop | Are the wormholes fixed? That is, are they unchanging, or dynamically generated? | |

| Apr 4, 2019 at 17:55 | comment | added | TheDyingOfLight | @jdunlop Maybe I should reword my question for clarity. The editing wave is the mechanism prohibiting causality violation. The actual travel happens via wormholes. | |
| Apr 4, 2019 at 17:45 | comment | added | jdunlop | Your "editing wave" would still be travelling at (at most) c, so you still don't have an FTL drive. You have a lightspeed drive. If your editing wave exceeds c, then it'd need its own editing wave to deal with its own causality violation. Turtles all the way down. | |
