I'm happy you edited your reply to try and clarify your point but you're still over complicating an attempt at a simple explanation. My original point was that going faster than light in a straight line isn't the goal. The goal is to bend/fold/warp space around you and get to another physical point is space before light does. Edit: I'm saying bending space, which happens all around us, is more likely a scenario than traveling faster than light. Is this statement wrong?

Yes, but eugenejen's point is that you're vastly oversimplifying a complicated concept. It's easy to use paper as a metaphor for our universe, but unless you've got any practical ideas for how we, as members of it, can use technology to accomplish this bending, it's not really very useful.

In fact, we are never able to bend the space and time to perceivale level so far. To bend the space and time we need to create a large gravitational field. We bend the material, but we did not bend the space.
