Canon v1:

- No FTL
- Wormholes require a lot of mass-energy and are unstable, only advanced civilizations can identify, stabilize, and inflate a wormhole, and even then its only to a small size. Large wormholes can be used to transport cargo, but only small amounts at once, but have to be carried to the destination by slow-than-light spacecraft.
- The Laws of Thermodynamics hold (Small scale violations, with sufficiently advanced technology, are possible)
- The theories of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics have been extended, but never disproved.
- Matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed (Some civilizations, however, learn how to control quantum vacuum fluctuations, but those who have that technology can also create their own universes and live in them and don't interfere with most of the common civilizations)
- Posthuman AI took longer to develop than expected
- It did not enter an upward curve of self-modification as easy as expected, progress was slow and not exponential, sometimes the AI's refused to because it would increase Mankind's grip on them, sometimes they simply evolved their own goals)
- Magnetic Monopoles exist and can be manipulated
- Relativistic spaceflight is viable and performed regularly, however, it is not as easy as flying a plane. Interplanetary spaceflight is also done regularly, and while much easier, it is not for everyone.
- By the time posthuman AI was developed human augmentation was advanced enough to surpass AIs.

This is all I have at the moment. Feel free to add more or remove.
