umm.. a wormhole.  my impresion from the book was that it
 seemed more like a jump drive, dunno..  maybe you're
right.  about Black Globe: yeah, it's close enough :)

I have a question for you, do you remember if in the book
there discussed about the kind of ships that the Motes had?
like what it was made of ?.. i don't seem to remember.

I would like to try to design one :)
