Does anyone know any of the theories regarding this way to avoid the faster-than-light limitations?

There are no respectable theories that allow for faster-than-light information movement.

Warp speed is possible as it does not travel faster than light but it does cheat relativity, a body cannot move faster than light but a vacuum can. Space can move faster than light and by creating a warp bubble around a ship you can move faster than light but not travel faster than it. Yes there is a difference. these warp bubbles are theoretically possible but practically would require huge amounts of energy and would be impsooible to control due to the fact that they are travelling too fast to do anything to. Also photons don't need mass to have momentum. Newtonian mechancis says momentum=mass multiplied by vrelocity but relativistically the equation is different.

I don't necessarily mean fater than light travel - that is impsooible.


The difference is between distance and displacement. displacement could be thought of as 'as the crow flies' it is where you end up in relation to the starting point.


I could travel 100m to get somewhere 10m away and my displacement would be 10m and my distance travelled would be 100m. wormholes allow for this displacement by allowing travel between the two ends of the wormhole instantly, regardless of how far apart they are, allowing you to move lightyears instantly.


Not faster than light travel but displacement.

can i ask a stupid question ? why can't you travel faster than light ?
