space warp
Cosmic fabric distortion
A space warp is a hypothetical distortion in the fabric of space-time that would allow faster-than-light travel or shortcuts between distant points in the universe.
The concept is a staple of science fiction: The ship entered a space warp and emerged on the other side of the galaxy.
In looser usage, space warp describes any disorienting shift in surroundings or perception.
