In the 31st century, vehicles faster than the speed of light (or 299 792 458 m/s) have been developed, allowing very fast transportation in the vacuum of space. This is due to that the speed of light was increased in 2208, to get around relativity (2ACV10).
Speed of light in Futurama
- "A Clone of My Own" (2ACV10)
- It is revealed that the speed of light was increased in 2208.
