So in the first Tolan episode, they contact the Nox so they can help the Tolan refugees. The Tolan mention their ftl, and Daniel says he thinks it's like the folding space theory.
Basically like folding a sheet of paper, so the two ends meet, and shooting right through, so when it unfolds, you're instantly on the other side, and the Tolan smiles and says "...No."
I don't recall the Nox ever mentioning FTL, just their invisibility, and they can also form wormholes without dialing.
I like you mate have a very nice day <3
I might have mixed some things up in the 20+ years since I saw that episode. For example, I could have also sworn it was Sam who made the wormhole comparison and was told "No." I do remember it being awkward though, like the question was embarrassingly naïve.
