I don't really remember. It's been so long...
But thinking about it, I can only think of three truly different ways to
travel at high speeds in S.Fiction. Every thing else is just a
variation
of one of those themes:
1) hyperspace / warp space / worm holes / etc.
2) Folding / warping (changing the reality of space time)
and
3) conventional travel straight line, (if one believes: the light
barrier
is just another barrier than every thinks can not be surpassed. Much
like
the sound barrier back in the way days. < we just don't know how /
theoretically>)
if any one can think of something else that's no related to any of these
(is truly different) please let me know...
I have been thinking about this for years now and have not come up with
any
other theories..
thanks
