hyperspace
Warp travel's domain
Hyperspace is a theoretical higher-dimensional space through which spacecraft can travel faster than light, a staple of science fiction: The ship jumped into hyperspace.
The concept sidesteps relativity by having ships exit normal space rather than exceed light speed within it.
In mathematics, hyperspace refers to any space of more than three dimensions.
