<div dir="ltr"><div>To the best of my knowledge, it does not. It is more accurate to say that it potentially accelerates the speed at which causality can propagate, along the direction it travels.<br><br></div><div>For example, let us take points A and B, one light second apart. A spaceship with a warp drive starts at A, quickly (for sake of discussion, close enough to "instantly") comes up to speed, then arrives at B less than a second later as a direct result.<br>
<br>This does not violate causality. In the reference frames of both points, there was a cause (the engine activating) and then there was an effect (the ship arriving at B), even if B might not receive the light detailing the cause until after the effect happened. (Which is to say, causality propagated faster than light.)<br>
