Spanish translation:desplazamiento hiperlumínico sensu stricto/sensu lato

Explanation:
FTLT se refiere a "faster-than-light travel", de eso no hay ninguna duda. "Tight" se referiría a algo que se desplaza a una velocidad más alta que la luz en términos absolutos, mientras que "loose" se referiría a algo que se desplaza a una velocidad más alta que la luz únicamente porque toma un atajo (por ejemplo, el objeto viaja a través de un agujero de gusano mientras que la luz debe viajar por el exterior).
