Gates can be built around the nodes so ships can easily navigate them, but you can also enter a node without a gate if your mass is big enough and you have a skilled pilot.<br /><br />Mapped nodes have known exit points. Unmapped nodes could lead anywhere. Mapping ships have the dangerous task of traversing unknown nodes in order to map them, hopefully to plot good trade routes between systems.<br /><br />My next book takes place on a mapping ship - because, ya know, it's nice to give your heroine a dangerous profession!Sara Creasyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398837332152581447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-78442807903146773892011-03-23T15:18:25.788-07:002011-03-23T15:18:25.788-07:00Awesome Kaye.

I figure make believe is close enough...considering the scientists are still figuring it out themselves.<br /><br />@Marva - It's in the thread titled "What's everyone working on?" Hope to see you on there! I like Einsteins wormhole theory too, and new science is now confirming the possibility as well...just figuring out the sustainability of it and all that goopily goop that is "the details".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447874650659057352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-33874517895090315282011-03-23T11:24:31.969-07:002011-03-23T11:24:31.969-07:00I went with the Einstein-Rosen bridge.

It's a wormhole type of space hopping.<br /><br />I figure if Einstein at least postulated the possibility, then it was a reasonable solution to star jumps without FTL.<br /><br />BTW, I couldn't quickly locate the thread in the Yahoo group. Is it the one on World Building?Cellophane Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166797508899835493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-70301419019574407102011-03-23T11:18:45.341-07:002011-03-23T11:18:45.341-07:00WOW!

It's always comforting to know that sometimes the most befuddling of questions has some kind of answer...even if sometimes it's just make believe. I like your theory and explanation - though I might have to give it a few re-reads to get it fully. (I'm a SF nut, but my nut is sadly lacking in the tech-department).<br />Thanks so much for this!! I really appreciate the input. I'd love to hear anyone else's theories or ideas as well.TK Toppinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192845664117376346noreply@blogger.com
