Original thread is somewhere down there.
Basically, for a part of the book, the main method of interstellar travel involves 'phasing' into an alternate universe where c=10 trillion km per second (incidentally, I decided after knowing this, but rather randomly and not based on any logic, that the night sky would be almost white due to the light coming in from everywhere- feel free to say that this is completely inaccurate) and I wanted to know what this would change between universes besides the speed of light being much higher, such as other forces being weaker or stronger, or, put another way: what would have to change for light to go that fast?
As for how that makes a difference in how fast they can go, I have some other hypothetical stuff that somehow manipulates gravity fields to achieve acceleration. Don't ask how. And yeah, they can only accelerate and decelerate when fairly close to a massive body.
