El tiempo es relativo, mija. Para el cómodo el mundo se mueve lento. Para el urgido, el mundo se mueve en chinga.
'Time is relative, my little girl', her Tata once told her, 'for the comfortable, the world moves slow. For the panicked, the world moves fast.' ]
An Alcubierre Drive is a Faster-Than-Light engine and computer that allows us to move from system to system. [ She raises her hands to motion a sphere, then a tiny 'front' and a large 'back' of a ship. ] It covers the whole ship in a bubble that makes everything in front of it smaller, and everything behind it larger, so you slide through normal space at massive speeds as long as the fragile bubble is away from a big gravity well, such as a planet, a star, or a black hole.
Going from system to system takes you around a week. Going from Sol to Tonatiuh? That took my great-grandparents months.
