The physics of negative mass/energy are paradoxical to the point that they mathematically enable transluminal transport.

But are they more paradoxical than relativity itself?

I think so. For most purposes, we can build intuition for special relativity without having to do the math. (General is more fucked.) We don’t understand negative energy/mass enough to even do that.
