Effective Superluminal Travel
A method of travel that is physically sub-luminal but effectively faster-than-light from the traveler's perspective due to relativistic time dilation.
MH370 Wormhole Transport
A speculative theory suggesting the disappearance of MH370 was caused by an engineered wormhole event mediated by orb-like objects.
Relativity and Portals
The breakdown of relativity allows for the possibility of portals and wormholes by exploiting relativistic effects.
