    In Ender's Game, Colonel Graff states that "somebody dredged the name ansible out of an old book somewhere". [9] In an answer on the question-and-answer website Quora, Card explained why he chose to reuse the word "ansible" for an FTL communication device instead of developing a new in-universe name for one: In an ftl universe, you have several ...

  3. Hyperspace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperspace

    In science fiction, hyperspace (also known as nulspace, subspace, overspace, jumpspace and similar terms) is a concept relating to higher dimensions as well as parallel universes and a faster-than-light (FTL) method of interstellar travel. In its original meaning, the term hyperspace was simply a synonym for higher-dimensional space.

  4. Flash memory controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory_controller

    The FTL may has three types: page mapping, block mapping and hybrid mapping. Page mapping can has higher performance, but it has bigger FTL metadata size and higher cost, and its usually used on solid state drives. Block mapping can has smaller metadata size and lower cost, but it has lower performance, and its usually used on USB flash drives ...

  5. Faster-than-light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

    In the context of this article, "faster-than-light" means the transmission of information or matter faster than c, a constant equal to the speed of light in vacuum, which is 299,792,458 m/s (by definition of the metre) [3] or about 186,282.397 miles per second. This is not quite the same as traveling faster than light, since:

  6. Superluminal communication - Wikipedia

    The current scientific consensus is that faster-than-light communication is not possible, and to date it has not been achieved in any experiment. Superluminal communication other than possibly through wormholes is likely impossible [ 1 ] because, in a Lorentz-invariant theory, it could be used to transmit information into the past .

    Most ships in the Path of the Fury follow a simplified pattern very similar to the one used in Weber's Honorverse, with relatively minor differences of mechanics and technology (different sub-light and FTL drive systems, true AI in the Fury universe but not the Honorverse, etc.) but the alpha synth class of vessels is peculiar to the Fury ...
