I've got 107 years of physics on my side, and you've got hope. No, I've got 10,000 years of human history on my side, which shows that mankind has eventually unlocked the secrets to whatever physical universe problem he's ever tried to solve.
You've agreed to, and are locked into a theoretical dogma that you can't see your way out of, because you're using the rules of the only problem solving table you have.
Einstein isn't the final word on the truth of our universe. We simply haven't met the person who will knock him off his pedestal yet.

This is why I'm rude to you: because you're completely ineducable. We've already "unlocked the secrets," and in addition to literally thousands of experiments which confirm the geometric facts of space-time [including the impossibility of superluminal travel] we have never seen an effect in the present produced by a cause in the future. Space travelers moving faster than light-speed would produce such artifacts.
This isn't an engineering problem. What you're saying is 100% equivalent to saying "Someday, we'll violate the Uncertainty Principle if we just set our minds to it," or "Someday, we'll create a Perpetual Motion Machine of the First Kind; 10,000 years of human history convinces me we will."
No.
We won't.
