Well, I can't seem to view the pictures on that page--"resource not found"--but is there anything on that page that does not totally refute everything you've been saying, and back up everything that I've been saying?
The very first sentence is, "One of the most striking aspects of special relativity is that faster than light travel is equivalent to time travel." Couldn't have said it better myself.

Yes, but nothing is travelling faster than light in the course of our scenario. You seem to have a (understandable!) mental block on that point. The action at a distance appears to have you spooked.. =)

BTW, the graphics work fine for me, though there seems to be a bit of lag between loading the page and when they pop up. In any case, everything is described in the exposition although it's significantly diminished without the visuals (which themselves are unavoidable approximations).

And another thing: the bare statement "faster than light travel is equivalent to time travel" does not presuppose time travel into the past as you appear to be doing! Time travel into the future raises no causality issues of its own accord.
