In science fiction, hyperspace refers to a region somehow alongside and
connected with our own universe (in some cases displaced in an extra
spatial dimension) which may be entered using some sort of energy field.
While hyperspace is in some way anchored to the normal universe, it's
much more compact, so traveling one mile in hyperspace is equivalent to
traveling a thousand miles in normal space, or a billion miles, or a
trillion. This makes for a very good explanation of faster than light
(FTL) travel: pop your starship into hyperspace, move along for a while,
pop back into normal space, and you end up light years from your
starting point in original space, with only having spent several months,
weeks, or even days in transit. In fact, hyperspace is the most common
device used for explaining FTL in a science fiction story where FTL is
necessary for interstellar travel.
