Or harness dimensional folding to instantly travel light years in single seconds.

That sounds absurdly farfetched and would take decade/centuries of research to even find out if it's possible.

Of course it does, but it'd easily be the most efficient method of space travel! Think about it: Jumping ten thousand light years every second (without any actual acceleration, G's, or relativistic effects because you're stationary but traveling through a fold in the dimension above our own to another point in space), you could cross the known/observable universe in days! And cross our own galaxy in about 15 seconds at that rate! All we would need is some space-time flaws, like domain walls or such... But yes, that would take a long time to research to successfully produce. Probably hundreds of thousands of years, or maybe even millions. It's a type of technology so hyper-advanced I could only imagine beings who're millions or billions of years evolved and having survived to know how to use it or found out if it's feasible.
