Hi G__day
I think that distance is an illusion. Take A4 sheet of paper. Now plot the shortest possible course between diagonally opposite corners. Try as you try you finish with line about 365mm long. Now fold the paper so opposite corners touch. And the distance becomes 0. True, we are manipulating two-dimensional space in three-dimensional environment. But the force required is very small. I would like to know if someone clever calculated the force required to do it in two- dimensions. That would give us idea about energy needed to do it in our three dimensional reality. If we were living in two- dimensional world, existence of third dimension can be mathematically proven. In our reality it can be also mathematically proven that fourth dimension exist. I think that your wish that space travel will be sometime in future posible by shifting to other places in the universe is more feasible then faster then light travel.
