(science fiction, dated) Teleportation.
n
(science fiction) A teleporter; a device for instantaneous travel.
n
Any of many (mostly hypothetical or fictional) processes of moving matter from one spatial point to another without physically crossing the space in between and which are often depicted or described as happening instantaneously, and through dematerialization or gateways.

(science fiction) A hypothetical discontinuity in the flow of time that would uncausally move events from one time period to another.
n
(science fiction) A portal enabling time travel.

(science fiction) A vehicle like a spaceship that travels through time.
n
Alternative spelling of time warp [(science fiction) A hypothetical discontinuity in the flow of time that would uncausally move events from one time period to another.]
n
(Britain, science fiction) A teleporter; a fictional device that transfers/transmits matter from one location to another without the object traversing the intervening distance as itself.
n
(science fiction) A device that instantaneously transports, or teleports, a person or object.
n
A theoretical construct that permits travel across a medium without passing through it normally, such as a teleporter or time warp.

(science fiction) A hypothetical figure describing a speed of one light-year per hour.
n
(science fiction) A hypothetical, extremely rapid, speed, resulting from entering a separate dimension, termed hyperspace; much faster than the speed of light.
n
(relativity) A hypothetical shortcut between two points in spacetime, permitting faster-than-light travel and sometimes time travel.

Note: Concept clusters like the one above are an experimental OneLook feature. We've grouped words and phrases into thousands of clusters based on a statistical analysis of how they are used in writing. Some of the words and concepts may be vulgar or offensive. The names of the clusters were written automatically and may not precisely describe every word within the cluster; furthermore, the clusters may be missing some entries that you'd normally associate with their names.
