This. If you bother to read even the most basic and approachable modern science materials you'll have heard about how the Big Bang happened. Spoilers for those who haven't read up: Light moved faster than it does now at first. Faster-than-light speed was achieved by light itself and should be replicable with proper application of science. Not that FTL travel matters because what you want to do is bypass distances, not go faster. It's more efficient, at least in theory.


you mean like wormholes


Sorta but not quite. Imagine space as a piece of paper. Your instinct, and what you've been told at school, is that the quickest way to get from Point A on the paper to Point B is a straight line. This is a lie. In truth, the quickest way is to fold the paper until A and B overlap. 'Cheating' is the way to get anywhere in the universe. You don't need a wormhole for this. You just need a way to delete something at one point in space and recreate it in another, then transfer the information the original object contained to the clone.
