From: Bernard M. Gunther <SE.BMG%MIT-EECS@MIT-MC.ARPA> I remember a short story a few years ago of which the gist was that hyperspace was possible, but the limiting speed there was less than the speed of light. If this is the case, if we can transfer between spaces without losing our forward velocity, we can go to such a speed in our dimension that is faster than the speed of light in the other dimension, switch dimensions, accelerate in the other dimension until you has passed the speed of light in our dimension and then switch back to ours again. Since the formulas [Lorenz Transformations] work at speeds greater than the speed of light, there shouldn't be any really problem. This avoids all the trouble of having to pass the speed of light in our dimension and still allows us to go faster than light by bypassing the region just around the light barrier.
