What Does FTL Stand For?

FTL stands for Faster Than Light

FTL, or Faster Than Light, refers to a theoretical concept in physics and science fiction that describes the ability to travel, communicate, or transmit information at speeds exceeding the speed of light. While current scientific understanding, based on the theory of relativity, posits that nothing can surpass light speed in a vacuum, FTL remains a popular subject in discussions about advanced space travel, hypothetical technology, and the exploration of the universe.
