The faster than light drive, or the light distortion drive, was supposed to compress the ship and crew's molecules, then a funny thing was supposed to happen. Similar to the old adage that 'nature abhors a vacuum' nature also abhors an imbalance in forces at the molecular level. A minor distortion between molecules causes a ripple in the dimension's time/space fabric and the result is similar to firing an apple seed by squeezing it. For many years science added energy trying to go faster. Then they discovered that when they created a minor distortion between molecules, the forces of the entire time/space fabric within the dimension fought to correct the imbalances. They could use a little energy to focus immense forces. The two main variables was the rate distortion was made and the amount which was dependent on the total mass and the distance to be traveled. As the distortion between molecules increased, it took a finite amount of time for the forces to build up within the dimension. If the local distortion, happened too fast or too much then it would exceed the forces building to correct it. Once that happened the distortion continued and the molecules separated. That is what happened to HSV#1 and Roberta Jenkins.
