Cut to the chase!

Does this mean we can expect FTL travel in our lifetimes?

What makes you think it does not already exist? FTL actually probably not in our lifetime. Wormhole will be the first FTL technology developed.

light speed limit is only for planar present. If you go to linear the limit rises dramatically, and in volumetric it slows even more dramatically. Imagine seeing a line along it’s axis; you see a point. Now imagine seeing a plane along its axis; you see a line. Viewing a volume along its axis is tough to imagine, but from one point it appears as a plane, from another as a ‘blossom’, etc. We sense in planar present so our view of photons is points which remain in present no matter how far they travel through space, but they are from our perspective past events. To the universe the view is somewhat different, connecting past to future via present. When space was linear not planar or volumetric yet, there were no photons yet, gravitons, because time had no future yet, but no photons yet.
