The paradox involving time which occurs when a particle moves with speed faster than the speed of light. In 1994,
the problem was dubbed the "Shalimar Treaty," a reference to the popular science fiction television program Star
Trek. The causality problem results from that fact that when two causally connected events A and B are connected
with a speed faster than the speed of light for a stationary frame of reference, then event B happens before event
A.
