In Response To: Um (Hawaiian Pig)


: Isn't there some crappy Halo-lore-magic about Slipspace time not being the
: same as real time?

: Maybe it's some cop-out, like, the time they experience in Slipspace is
: seemingly instant whereas the time that has passed in real space has been
: two weeks. Staten's Theory of Halo Relativity.

: In that two week time period, the Arbiter kills a Heretic leader, even.

That's what I was thinking, too.

But regarding the comparison to other jumps and whatever, this is really one of the first times we've seen it from a Covenant jump, too. IAC didn't open up the rift into slipspace; they followed Regret's ship there, in their wake. I think I remember reading in one of the books that the Covenant had a much more refined way of traveling through slipspace, so the time they experience while jumping is much shorter.

Or something.
