Like if you have a paper. Make 2 points A and B on it. What is the shortest way to go from A to B? A straight line between A and B.
But what if you were allowed to bend the paper and join the points together? Shorter distance, ain't it?
i think this was a different concept then that, what you described sounds more like a wormhole

yes the guy did have math and all that done but it was a TV show so they weren't going to bored everybody with the huge equations:
