No, it does not. You will find NO theoretical physicist who believes that it's possible. Saying that we will someday find a way to travel faster than the speed of light is EXACTLY the same as saying "someday we'll find a shorter distance between two points than a straight line."
No. We won't.
The geometry of the universe is what it is, and so many phenomena from intrinsic spin to antimatter to mass energy equivalence to time dilation to Lorentz contraction to things as simple as the color of gold, ALL are a direct result of relativity.
There is no shorter distance between two points than a straight line. Period.
Which is why people talk about bending space/time. Although the energies to do that on paper are far greater than anything we have ever produced or could produce.

Man make take some time, but some ‘from the mouths of babes’ will noodle out a ‘solution’
But to think Man knows all of what is possible to say “NEVER!” is the epitome of hubris and ignorance.
Well...If the two separate real points are in the span of the straight line, this might be true.
But consider a single point by it self...If there is both a real (non-imaginary) and complex (imaginary) mathematical solution to identify that point, one might also say that the shortest distance between two points is a point....{:-)
