In hadrons, we have quarks, which only make up about 1% of the mass of the hadrons; such as in a proton. This means that the mass is 100 times larger AFTER the quarks come together. While no mass is created, from nothing, this forms almost instantaneously and mass seems to be added to a single point faster than the speed of light; which, gravity cannot travel faster than the speed of light, either. So if the sun suddenly disappeared, it would take us 8 minutes to notice it's effects were gone; that includes gravity. If a sun suddenly appeared, roughly the same distance away as our sun, it would take us 8 minutes to know it was there, gravitational effects included.
This means that a disproportional amount of space can be bent in a given time through the flux of mass. This means that by destroying and recreating hadrons, you can essentially bend space disproportionally, creating virtual waves of gravitational space bending stuff. It's more or less a mechanism for turning ambient photons into mass, or gluons, or massless particles into having mass, or basically converting energy into mass, in a very, very rough sort of way.
Then, since the effect will mostly be felt in localized areas (as in, you won't have a space ripple go through your house and be like, dafuq?) you can ride on these ripples without effecting much else building on the waves as you move essentially creating a bunch of correctly timed impulses to stack on each other.
This is known as the "quantum impulse drive".
It is more appropriate to think of the event as a "flux capacitor", since the event is not designed to produce energy but to produce change (ironically like something designed to produce voltage). This in turn, bends space, and allows for FTL travel if timed correctly and the initial speed is appropriate; as some movement is required, some design, such as a rocket or otherwise is required, although depending on the impulses it may simply take more time to get up to speed.
The way to do this without a gazillion multibillion super huge hadron colldiers is to create a nano one. Particles are rather small and the energy can be more efficient with a smaller design (as magnetism loses strength exponentially with distance and whatnot), so with hyper conductive and non-conductive strips of alternating kinds of graphene you can not only store power in super capacitors thousands of times better than current batteries but also have magnetic shielding and energy transfer much more efficiently.
Using many coiled up micro, or nano accelerators, smaller than the size of a base-ball, you can theoretically produce enormous amount of destroyed and recombining hadrons producing flux. To power this operation you could also theoretically use Thorium as micro accelerators as this kind of power generation would be a lot more feasible (and Thorium is as common a dirt), although any theoretical power source is available.
And there you have it, Faster than light travel.
But I'm not sure if this will mess up time or not though.
