Faster than light communication would violate causation, meaning you could send a message that would arrive before it was sent. What happens if you instruct yourself to not send it in the first place? This is the paradox. So, how to get around that? Perhaps parallel universes? Other dimensions? Or maybe just that the quantum world is designed to violate locality in very precise ways that don't affect the macroscopic world, or break any causation rules. I always find it fascinating how a concept like entanglement — two particles that are connected by some faster-than-light phenomenon — can coexist with the macroscopic world, yet perfectly prevent messages from being sent between two points. Same with quantum teleportation. The science says that it can happen, but the no-cloning theorem prevents duplicates from being made through teleportation. As strange as the quantum world is, it somehow doesn't seem to ever break causation rules (yet).
