I don't understand something about Stellaris's hyperspace tech

And considering what we can observe, and that there seems no stars that warp around, or object that appears from nothing, I'm quite convinced that timetravel doesn't exist, as such our theory is incomplete or it is complete, and the fact that FTL require timetravel showcase an impossibility.
Time travel wouldn't cause stars to warp around or make things appear from nothing.

i realy don't want to start to talk about it.



anyway , i got a good example of the problem with scifi\games .

newtons gravity theory , it was right, it could explain and predict MOST behaviours of reality , but it didn't explain some correctly.
it wasn't wrong, it was simply incomplete .

when the theory was considerate as the most advanced one and rapresentative of reality, it could still not explain the whole reality .

does it means that the reality was wrong or a plothole? no, simply the theory was incomplete , simple and easy to use to understand most thing, but was incomplete.


this happen in world where FTL work without timetraveling effects, the (non)reality showcase this, so the theory of relativity MUST be incomplete .

there is no backward works for theory, they must rappresent reality, is not reality that must rapresent the theory .



so, the whole OP is about negating (non)reality and forcing a theory of our reality in it.

Being as it facilitates FTL telecommunications and transportation, how does it avoid breaking causality in a galaxy thousands of light-years across?

e.g. Sol and Alpha Centuri are approximately 4 light years apart, which means a UNE colony ship on Alpha Centauri III had landed sometime before the order to build said colony ship was issued to Sol Starbase shipyard (from the viewpoint of the Alpha Centauri system). Without an absolute frame of reference, how do objects in different star systems know when "now" is and not accidentally go back in time?

Who cares? Stellaris is made to be fun, not compliant with real-world physics. So turn your brains off, relax and have fun! ;)

Many of you are discounting the importance of the Continuum Transfunctioner in faster than light travel. Each shipped is equipped with one, and as we all know, is a mysterious and powerful device whose mystery is only exceeded by its power.

Hey, the Continuum Transfunctioner is useless without the Paracausal Stability Matrix! Go back to the Engineering course, friend, before you end blowing up your ship -- or worse, making it fly to another universe or alternate reality! I heard that some of those can be really scary places to be stranded...
