Travel faster than the speed of light. By definition, Superluminal is "Faster-than-light (FTL)"

If you could travel at superluminal speeds would that be faster or the same as teleporting?

The question has already posited an impossible assumption, so the questioner might as well go ahead and posit whichever answer will please him.


Which black hole can you time travel through?

This question REALLY goes deep into theoretical sciences, but most any black hole. Any black hole, that is, assuming you have a strong enough hull on your vessel, you are in a vessel that is capable of superluminal travel, and heading towards a black hole that won't totally spaghettify you. Good luck with that.


Is it possible for any type of particles to have velocity greater than the velocity of light. Justify your answer?

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, it is possible for particles to travel through a medium (not a vacuum!) faster than light can travel through that medium (not a vacuum!), which gives rise to Cherenkov radiation. Tachyons - a type of superluminal particle that is theorized but has never been observed - should be able to travel faster than light, but they would not be able to travel at or below light speed.

What does ftl stand for in Battlestar Galactica?

FTL in almost any sci-fi setting stand for Faster Than Light. This typically refers to either travel (IE warp drive, hyperspace, space folding) or communication (IE subspace transmission). FTL is also commonly referred to as hyper-luminous or superluminal travel or communication. In BattleStar Galactica they "spin up the FTL drive" as a form of charging or preparing the Faster Than Light travel capability of their ships. Although this process is never explained in detail, it is assumed that the FTL drives in BattleStar Galactica operate on a function of folding space to achieve FTL travel.


What does the black hole in space do?

It doesn't actually 'do' anything more than a boulder. However, its astounding density means it has a most astounding nature. It bends the space-time continuum around it, and sucks anything in. To escape its gravitational pull, you would have to travel at superluminal speeds, which is theoretically impossible. At its core is a point called singularity, a place with infinite mass and zero space. It totally disintegrates anything that is pulled in, and this includes asteroids, planets, and stats.


What is Instant communication?

What is Instant Universal Communication?It is the act of sending information instantly between two points in space without the factors of time and space. This method eliminates the idea of faster-than-light or superluminal communication as an option.The likely candidate medium that can be pulsed by a binary push-and-pull modulation to facilitate this instant transmission of information is the force of gravitation that exists as strings between all matter in the universe. On a universal scale, a delay of 30 seconds might still be considered as real-time communication, if the use of gravitational effects for communications happens to have some noticeable delay.If Teleportation becomes a reality, the solution to the instant transportation of matter and information will be solved simultaneously. That would be the ultimate quantum leap for humanity - a final solution to the barrier of space and time.Raphael BonhartAmateur Superluminal Researcher
