FTL Games (Faster Than Light) was the video game development division of Software Heaven Inc. FTL created several popular video games in the 1980s. Despite the company's small size, FTL products were consistently number-one sellers and received the highest critical acclaim and industry awards. [citation needed] FTL was founded by Wayne Holder ...
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.
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 ...
The Multiverse Software Foundation is a non-profit organization that was formed by volunteers in November 2011 to take over and manage the assets of the now-defunct Multiverse Network. [1] The Foundation maintains the Multiverse MMO Development Platform, which is a collection of open-source software used to create online games.

The BeagleBoard-xM ...
A 2009 article by Carlos Barceló, Stefano Finazzi, and Stefano Liberati uses quantum theory to argue that the Alcubierre drive at faster-than-light velocities is impossible mostly because extremely high temperatures caused by Hawking radiation would destroy anything inside the bubble at superluminal velocities and destabilize the bubble itself ...
