Hyperspace

A dimension accessible from Earth whose physical laws differ from Earth's in the following ways. First, it is possible to surpass the speed of light within hyperspace. Second, hyperspace is "warped" in comparison to Earth's dimension so that the distance between two points in hyperspace might be immensely shorter than the distance between the equivalent points in Earth's dimension. Interstellar travel is impractical for any sentient race that has not discovered the means of traveling through hyperspace in order to reach a destination in their own dimension. However, it is possible for any being who manipulates the Power Cosmic, and for anyone that employs some specific unorthodox means (such as the mystical speed of Mjolnir [1]), to enter hyperspace after achieving faster than light speeds,[2][3][4] or even accelerate and surpass the speed of light without entering the hyperspace.[5] (Silver Surfer was deprived from his space-time travelling powers, which presumably means his capacitiy to enter hyperspace [6]) Hyperspace is also known as sub-space (which is sometimes confused with the Negative Zone) and warp-space. It is accessible through naturally occurring or artificially created nexuses in space called space warps. Hyperspace is also the source of all the four fundamental forces of the universe (gravity, electromagnetism, strong force, and the weak force).
