I think that is entirely expected from what we know of modern physics. It doesn't say you can't do it, just things are very weird if you can.

I think it's more likely that modern physics are wrong than that all of those weird things happen. We might simply discover a preferred reference frame, instead.

Exactly! It’s not forbidden, just very unlikely and would be very strange.

It’d likely involve exponentially more energy as well. It’d be a good sci-if plot point if FTL communications required machines the size of Jupyter to get a few milliseconds of prescience.
