This can be anything from Hyperspace in Star Wars, Warp Drive in Star Trek, travel through the Warp in Warhammer 40k or anything else.

I’ve always liked “slow” FTL travel, where going a few light-years still takes a few days or so. I also really like travel through an alternate dimension like in 40k, Event Horizon, Witchspace in Elite Dangerous.

I wanna know your favorite versions, or do you prefer stories that obey the laws of known physics, like the Expanse or Rimworld?

    Fuck!

    Turns out my “quantum superposition rifts” where certain spaces (biomes) exist in multiple locations at once allowing seemless passing between worlds, are not as original as i thought.

    Well i don’t know how Dan Simmons Explained the science behind it but in effect it would end up very similar.

      It was a bit of “handwave-ium” and sentient AI. Here’s the Wiki for the series if you want to compare your concept…

      Here’s an article about the Farcasters themselves and here’s the article about the World Web that AI and humanity ran with them.
