A speculative framework proposing that causality has elastic properties that allow it to stretch, compress, or deform under FTL conditions without breaking. The Theory of Elasticity of Causality in FTL Scenarios suggests that cause-effect relationships can stretch across spacetime in ways that look like paradox but are actually elastic deformations—like a rubber band stretched but not snapped. When the FTL journey ends, causality snaps back to its proper order. The theory identifies causality's elastic limits: how far can you stretch it before it breaks? FTL might be possible within those limits, but exceed them and causality snaps—with unknown consequences.
