Physics is very difficult, and magical thinking is much easier and more fun. Relativity is a description of the geometry of the universe, and any subsequent theory will need to explain the same observations. These observations both prohibit any form of FTL, and suggest that a universe with FTL would almost certainly contain causality violations. The hope that down will someday become up is ill-founded, and the effects of this would not be what you would want.
