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.
