I know the odds are slim that any of you are out there and reading this, but this is just sort of a general plea:
BEFORE YOU FEEL THE URGE TO STATE A NUMBER, PLEASE DO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF MATH.
#depending on which of the three stated speeds you consider to be canon#the train in hyperspeed travels at either#Mach 1#Mach 8#or MACH 91!!!#there's just no goddamn excuse!!!#i mean there is#I can contrive an excuse because i'm good at this#you could change literally one word in what's stated and it would be okay#anyway#it just butters my parsnips because BOY I do a lot of math writing about this series#like so much#like I agonize over the time it takes to get from one place to another#and the timezones that things happen in with respect to other things#and how fast things go and when people get where and how to make this all reasonable and believable and even if it never gets into the text#it's important that I know that my work holds up under logical scrutiny#it's frustrating to write about something that hasn't been given that same fundamental consideration
