Book 5: Not Till We Are Lost
- Ch 5The microwave sources are two artificial wormhole endpoints in the system's Kuiper belt, each flanked by two small stations.
- Ch 8The two wormholes in the alien system are not connected to each other; each leads to a different place.
- Ch 34Wormhole endpoints must be created together as a pair and one flown slower than light to its destination.
- Ch 34A wormhole is a sphere, not a tunnel, and does not cancel the relative velocity between its endpoints.
- Ch 34Bill has tested that flying a wormhole endpoint at relativistic speed does not create a time tunnel.
- Ch 38Wormhole endpoints are en route, and within a few years a path from Epsilon Eridani to Skippyland is expected.
- Ch 58The wormhole appears as a disc-shaped hole from every angle and is held open by a rotating charged negative-energy field.
- Ch 58Drones pass through the test wormhole with zero transit time but suffer stress fractures from a momentary inward squeeze.
- Ch 58Wormhole negative-energy stations are aligned with the galactic axis as standard policy, so travellers won't hit them.
