Wait, no they both do. Normal warp does. FTL as a concept does.

Hey, props to them for embracing it immediately and doing time travel nonsense right away.

You should get back into it, though. It's all pretty solid, except maybe some of Picard.

I did bounce off on DS9, too. That was a rough time for the franchise. Glad people enjoy it retroactively, though.

Don't make me break out the spacetime diagram, young man. Because I WILL break out the spacetime diagram.

Anyway, doesn't matter. Star Trek has messed with time travel since TOS season 1. And that was after they started introducing magic men with god powers, which they did in episode 3. It makes zero sense to get nerdy about it. That's my point here.

Ah... ok, wow, that's a lot of relativity to explain from scratch for a non-physicist. There must be someone else...

Here, this one is a bit dense but it addresses Star Trek by name, so:

Bonus points for starting with the point that forget warp, subspace communication breaks causality already, so you don't even need to boldly go anywhere for any of it to be kinda busted.

If that's a bit too dry you can search for a similar subject line, there are TONS of explanations like this one out there.

Anyway, none of it makes sense, it's all for funsies anyway. Suspend disbelief, ye nerds, and enjoy your sci-fi.
