Time barrier

A time barrier was a speed limit and the barrier between alternate universes like Elysia and the prime universe.

The warp barrier known as time barrier
The time barrier was a factor that, until it was broken in the 23rd century, restricted the top speed of warp-powered vessels.

In 2254, when the crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) discovered what they thought were survivors from the SS Columbia, which had crashed on Talos IV in 2236, José Tyler noted that the survivors would not believe how fast they could get back to Earth, due to the breaking of the time barrier that had occurred since the Columbia had crashed. 

Time barrier of Elysia
The small alternate universe known as Elysia was a parallel time continuum that periodically touched the prime universe in the Delta Triangle region. Elysia was described by Devna, as a pocket in the garment of time. The collisions between the two universes produced time warp vortices in the time barrier between the universes that allowed passage from one side to the other at high warp speed.
