  2. A Slower Speed of Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Slower_Speed_of_Light

    OpenRelativity is a toolkit designed for use with the proprietary Unity game engine. It was developed by MIT Game Lab during the development of A Slower Speed of Light. The toolkit allows for the accurate simulation of a 3D environment when light is slowed down. [7] It is hosted on GitHub and has been published under the permissive MIT license. [2]

  3. 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.

  4. Superluminal communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superluminal_communication

    The limitations of phase velocity beyond the speed of light later led him to develop his Dirac communicator. Larry Niven used hyperwave in his Known Space series as the term for a faster-than-light method of communication. Unlike the hyperdrive that moved ships at a finite superluminal speed, hyperwave was essentially instantaneous.

  5. Tachyon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon

    In theories that do not respect Lorentz invariance, the speed of light is not (necessarily) a barrier, and particles can travel faster than the speed of light without infinite energy or causal paradoxes. [27] A class of field theories of that type is the so-called Standard Model extensions. However, the experimental evidence for Lorentz ...

  6. Warp drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive

    However, this statement contradicts the technical manuals and encyclopedias written by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda, where a speed of 3053 times the speed of light was established for a warp factor of 9.9 and a speed of 7912 times the speed of light for a warp factor of 9.99. Both numerical values are well below the value given by Tom Paris ...

  7. Faster than the speed of light (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster_than_the_speed_of...

    "Faster Than the Speed of Light", a song written by Yngwie Malmsteen; Faster Than Light (software publisher), a defunct computer game company; Faster Than Light, a song from the soundtrack of the 2016 video game Stellaris; FTL Games (Faster Than Light) was the video game development division of Software Heaven Inc.

  8. Star Frontiers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Frontiers

    Star Frontiers is a space opera role-playing game that is set near the center of a spiral galaxy (the setting does not specify whether the galaxy is our own Milky Way).A previously undiscovered quirk of the laws of physics allows starships to jump to "The Void", a hyperspatial realm that greatly shortens the travel times between inhabited worlds, once they reach 1% of the speed of light.

  9. Speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_Light

    The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant that is exactly equal to 299,792,458 metres per second (approximately 300,000 kilometres per second; 186,000 miles per second; 671 million miles per hour).
