Ellop (with double l) means 'to steal' in hungarian.
I firmly believe that time does not exist. It is just a creation of the human mind as we are aware of the past, the present and the future.
Yeah, I know about "time" slows down in a strong gravitational field or if you approach to the speed of light. But "time" slows down for you (which you do not notice of course) because the particles in your body do not have "time" to interact with each other. I mean, they are busy going into a particular direction and cannot go into another one as the resulting speed vector would be greater than c.
If there is no interaction between particles then there is no change in their states and the result will be as if "time" stands still.
The problem is, as you can notice in my explanation, that such words like "change" and "speed" implicate time. But that does not mean time is a real physical dimension. Reality does not execute our equations in order to work.
This is FUD and the general response if someone suggest government is evil.
However, those hellholes which you suggest are basically governed. So, they have government because the definition of government 'is an organization exerting centralized control over a community' (from wikipedia). It is an entirely different issue that those governments wages war against each other and if they are recognized by other governments or not.
I once read that if the black hole is big enough tidal forces will be minimal and you can actually cross the event horizon alive.
This theory has some merit as the universe itself is a black hole from a certain point of view.
I don't get it. Why do physicists use GR for FTL? That does not make sense. It is the same as using Newtonian physic for relativistic speeds. GR was not designed for FTL, obviously.
All of the examples of violating causality is based on defining "now" in two different frame of reference. However, this "now" is established using GR while the "signal" (or bullet or whatever) uses FTL. That does not make sense.
If you have FTL you use FTL for everything including determining "now". Of course, you need new physic to do that. However, disproving FTL with GR is pointless using these examples.
Instead, why not use the curvature of space for disproving FTL?
Every particle travels through space, even the photon. According to GR space itself also changes with the speed of light. This means space itself cannot react fast enough for an FTL particle. It would be similar as if a ship did not disturb the water as it passes. And that is impossible.

No wonder Ericsson desperately wants money.
It looks like you have never heard of the Jevons paradox.
I do not believe in particle-wave duality. I believe in Feynman's path integral formulation.

Read QED if you want to know more of this.

Using path integral a particle does not need to interference itself in order to produce the interference pattern.

Exactly. All the elementary particles are 0-dimensional , point-like particles. As they are 0-dimensional they cannot have a shape. Also, this means only head-on collisions are possible in particle accelerators.
Some geniuses, like Feynman, tried to model the elementary particles as 3-dimensional bodies, but to no avail.
