    And after actually achieving ftl theres the thorny problem of navigating it.
    As Holly put it on Red Dwarf 'By the time you've seen something you've already passed through it; so its still brown trousers time'.

    Only your time changes. So it would be 1300hrs 12 Aug 2015 earth time and Alpha Centuri time.... you zipping about the cosmos like Biggles on speed only effects you.

    So you would just have to set your watch Zulu again, and all would be well.

    Questions?
    Yes, go back and read what I wrote. Earth time and Alpha Centauri time would both be 1300hrs 12 Aug 2015. MY time would be 1305 12 Aug 2011.... in other words, I would have aged 5 minutes. You, and everyone else, would have aged five years...

    "I am a terrifying....Terrorist... Are you scared?"
    "No.."
    "God dammit! Oh, err, i mean Allah dammit..."

    "so where did you train to be a terrorist?"
    "At the Suicide Bomber facility"
    "Oh really? Nice Place?"
    "It was..."
    "Why, what happened"
