I've recently done some math for the laser internet lag between Dirtball and Nexus Jovia and it's looking... like I might have to rewrite some later scenes LMAO. If I move the wormhole from Jupiter L4 to L1 it's still gonna be like a 3 minute lag to go from Dirtball's surface to their high orbit wormhole, through the wormhole switchboard, out from the Jupiter wormhole laser to Nexus Jovia. And that's information traveling one way. Space is so big it makes light seem slow.
Currently, my desire to not rewrite book scenes is at war with my desire to keep things physically accurate. The deciding factor is probably going to be that a 6 minute lag does kinda... work thematically, with what I'm trying to do, which is portray that living on Dirtball sucks and is extremely isolating.
