FTL or Mutual Time Dilation ?

Which belongs to fact and which belongs to fiction ?

The players :
Ann - the stay at home twin - clock points at 2025
Betty's time is 2023.

Betty - the traveling twin - clock points at 2023
Ann's time is 2021

Enter mutual time dilation and ftl :
Ann sends ftl message to Betty, message arrives in 2003.
Betty retransmits message to Ann, message arrives in
2001. Causality destroyed.

This is under the assumption that for Ann, Betty is
still in 2003 and that for Betty, Ann is still in 2001.

There is another, much more simple explanation : they
are still both in the same now, let us take the Earth's
time as a reference, 2005, but Betty's molecules have
just moved slower (imnsho because of higher inertia),
just as she would have as being in some cryogenic system.

In this context : Ann ftl-calls Betty and realizes that
her speech is gamma times slower, Betty notices that Ann
speech is gamma times faster. Ftl works just fine, only
the phone bills are too high.

What is the greater science fiction, ftl or mutual time
dilation, the latter giving rise to time travel and
causality breaches ?

Ftl does not breach causality, MTD (mutual time
dilation) does.

MTD = Science Fiction.

Your gibberish generator is still full on. FTL cannot be verified.
Therefore your "causality problem", isn't a problem.

Then neither can MTD.

I say the problem arises from MTD, not from FTL, if ever
possible.

That is a good reason to look for a preferred frame. Eg.

Quantum preferred frame: Does it really exist?
EPL (Europhysics Letters) Volume 88, Number 1
http://iopscience.iop.org/0295-5075/88/1/10005;jsessionid=52ED179FF302CE9C141ECF9B9EA55927.c1

Abstract: The idea of the preferred frame as a remedy for difficulties
of the relativistic quantum mechanics in description of the non-local
quantum phenomena was undertaken by physicists such as J. S. Bell and
D. Bohm. The possibility of the existence of a preferred frame was
also seriously treated by P. A. M. Dirac. In this paper, we propose an
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen�type experiment for testing the possible
existence of quantum preferred frame. Our analysis suggests that to
verify whether a preferred frame of reference in the quantum world
exists, it is enough to perform an EPR-type experiment with a pair of
observers staying in the same inertial frame and with use of the
massive EPR pair of spin�one-half or spin-one particles.

The preferred frame is the state of the matter, which is the state of
the matter and the state of the dark matter; the state of which is
determined by the connections between the matter and the dark matter
which is the state of displacement.
