faster-than-light
adj1
Natural sciences, Physical sciences, Physics Comparative only Faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, the theoretical speed limit for travel within the universe.
- Faster-than-light drives use element zero cores to reduce the mass of a ship, allowing higher rates of acceleration. This effectively raises the speed of light within the mass effect field, allowing high speed travel with negligible relativistic time dilation effects.2008, BioWare, Mass Effect, Redwood City: Electronic Arts, →ISBN, →OCLC, PC, scene: FTL Drive Codex entry:
