Aww damn.. you beat me to it!
Ah, isn't this a bit close to Newtonian?
But then again.. If a light 'photon' in mono wave length laser form was to hitch a ride through Oolite space then 'whitch?' space.
Wouldn't it be doing speed of light X2 + whitch space non time/speed, And get through faster?
Whitch space is not a typo, just couldn't decide if it should be which, as in, err what, or witch as in spooky space, so combined them.
Must admit I like the reasoning for Thargoidal invasion by Smivs.
Imagine all they wayward laser shots and missiles just appearing in your space with no explanation and probably breaking all your laws of your ooniverse..
Would tend to peeve me a bit.
By the way speed of light is not constant and there is no such thing as an actual vacuum. A bit like absolute zero. We think/calculate it's there. But most calculations always forget some parameter.
So back to Ramens Q about attacking through a jump.
Maybe it got there before the target? Maybe it hit a Thargoid and added to their peevishness? Maybe it would go into a photon loop and become black matter?
Ahh, the possibilities of the Ooniverse.
