Ayep. You
could reach speeds greater than the speed of light. But you
still need to provide a little something called "thrust" and "thrust" requires a nasty little thing called "fuel", and not just that, but "thrust" does not necessarily mean speed, you've got to take something called "mass" into account, and current speed. "Acceleration" takes "fuel" and the higher the "acceleration" and the "mass" the more "fuel" is needed to reach a higher speed.
What I'm trying to say is, you
might theoretically be able to reach much greater speeds there, but you're still limited by your thrust and fuel. Shunting a ship into another dimension does not (necessarily) give it speed, so like it or not, all you're doing is essentially wasting your energy by getting into another dimension, that really IS all
Not that I don't believe in FTL travel, of course (seriously), but this is indeed BS - albeit not necessarily in the way you meant it; when a fifteen-year-old student can poke holes the size of solar systems into a theory, I think it's time to review said theory. QED
