hyperspeed
Beyond light travel
Hyperspeed is speed beyond normal limits—faster than anything conventionally possible.
The term comes from science fiction, where it describes spacecraft traveling faster than light: The ship jumped to hyperspeed.
Outside fiction, hyperspeed suggests extreme rapidity: Technology is advancing at hyperspeed.
The prefix hyper- intensifies speed past its usual boundaries.
