We believe that the universe is unbounded: this is not the same as infinite: the 2-D surface of a sphere, wrapped around a 3rd dimension, has a finite size, but has no end. If you start off in a given direction on the surface of a sphere, you could return to your start point without having to turn around -- you simply go all the way around. But wouldn't that mean the universe has an escape velocity like the earth?

Im not sure how to explain it on inglish.
But i think you must learn how to make mass travel through time and space. Sort of teletransportation.
You must star with little amount of mass like a key, if the time-space-travel works, so the engine its bigger as the mass it is. More mass = engine bigger.
Bad inglish i now, but i do my best.
By those implications, Infinite Mass = SOLight.
As we sit down and type, we are flowing through time as it goes forwards, we also go through space as the earth rotates around the sun. The unfortunate thing is that with E=mc^2, no matter how miniscule the mass is, it will always be infinitely large by the time it hits Light-speed.

But we are not trying to go as fast as light. We are trying to be faster.
If you read the books, you must now that they actually travel through time and space at the same time.
While you are in the Slipspace "time" flows normally for you, but in real life it passed days or even weeks.
Yes, Im trying to explain that if the object reaches an infinite mass at lightspeed, how do you expect to go faster since infinite is well, Infinite.
If you read the books, Slipspace is not normal, Minkowski Space, Slipspace is parallel to normal space, and the laws of light speed change to allow extensive travel at superluminal speeds, while keeping "your" time perception, whereas in reality, weeks and months go by. Once the starship exits slipspace into normal space again, you automatically snap back to a speed below light.

Actually, change subject, how does the humans support this?
By using their FTL drive which uses brute force in the form of black-hole manipulation to rip a hole in space-time. Something I'm currently exploring.
