what we've been talking about is special relativity

general relativity is the theory of what it looks like when it's bent and curved

and that's why the sci-fi explanation for breaking the "speed of light" barrier etc is "warping space"

if you've read A Wrinkle in Time that's what Mrs Which talks about

the speed of light can't change but the distance between things (in both space and time) can

so that's why sci fi time travel relies on stuff like black holes

gravity can change the underlying landscape and "break" light cones in theory

(really change the shape of the light cone so it's not what it would be if it were flat)

but yeah that's why the term "warp", the origin of "time warp" and all that
