The '''Wormhole Network '''is an interstellar transportation system which allows for near-instantaneous travel throughout the Milky Way galaxy. It is the only method of faster-than-light travel currently known to humanity. It is believed that it was developed by an ancient race of transhuman beings known as the Seraphs.[[Category:ARC]]

The '''Infinity Drive''' is a propulsion system of traveling faster than the speed of light, derived from alien technology. The technology was discovered in the 2470.
 
 
 
==Basis of the drive==
 
By the year [[Redshift (2008 TV series) |2470]], humanity had discovered the ability to travel faster-than-light through Infinity drive. A Infinity drive is capable of decreasing the mass of a starship, essentially allowing it to ride a beam of light, and eventually the starship rides a tachyon wave like a zipline through to its target location. The infinity drive moves the starship through space at such a high-rate of speed that the ship ultimately phases out of existence passing through objects on its way to its final location. Near-instantaneous transit anywhere in the galaxy, maybe even cosmos.

==Mathematical and probabilistic==
 
[[File:Warp_1.png|thumb|left|A geometric progression]]Where the speed of a vessel (measured in multiples of c, the speed of light) is equal to the cube of the given class.
 
 
with
 
*''v'' being the speed of the signal or starship
 
*''c'' being the speed of light (3.0 × 10<sup>8</sup> m/s) and
 
*''wf'' being the resulting sprint class
 
[[File:Warp_2.png|thumb|left|To calculate speed (v) in terms of c]]
 
 
At the speed of light, a starship would reach ''c''; at class 5, it would reach 216 ''c''.

The Wormhole Network is an interstellar transportation system which allows for near-instantaneous travel throughout the Milky Way galaxy. It is the only method of faster-than-light travel currently known to humanity. It is believed that it was developed by an ancient race of transhuman beings known as the Seraphs.
