Opinions of FTL travel/communication?

Is it possible? Will we ever achieve it?

Personally I think no.

/sci/, I come with a challenge.

A challenge of all challenges.

One that is hotly debated to this day.

Faster than light travel.

We all know faster than light travel is impossible, as you can't be in motion past that certain annoying boundary...or is it.

It is assumed that FTL travel requires motion, what if we've been looking at this the wrong way, and you can beat light by motionless travel.

Fellow /sci/entists, your task is to come up with a way in which FTL travel might be hypothetically possible.

Here are the restrictions:

>Your craft cannot be in motion
>You must explain why your idea would work.
>Your ideas must (obviously) obey the laws of physics
>Your idea must work on a stationary object that can launch from Earth's orbit without fucking things up for Earth
>Your idea must be able to transport people without killing them.
>You cannot give up and say this is impossible.
>Those that come up with the most plausible way, will get a present. (sssshhh...it's secret)
>No thread derailing with "hurrrr stupid thread", this is a fun mental masturbatory activity, deal with it

And most importantly...
