[QUOTE="paradox404, post: 143332, member: 4523"] Oh right, the package you were sent... Derp, I wrote that post at witching hour yesterday. From what I understand, there are two different types of divergence. Both are incredibly difficult to calculate in their own ways. The way the numbers would work is that the number, say 1.941 for instance, would refer to how different the destination worldline is from the traveller's home worldline, in percent. The first, which I would guess John would be referring to, is relative. Relative simply refers to how different the worldline is based upon its current state in relation to a point of reference in the home worldline. The way that this could be done is to carry a database containing all of your worldline's history so that it can easily be cross checked on arrival. This type is entirely dependent on data that exists on that worldline. The second is absolute divergence. Absolute refers to how different is the entire worldline, at every point, from the traveler's worldline. I do not know exactly how one could go about measuring this, however I do think there would be a "Base code" that could be observed and eventually used to go to any worldline of the traveller’s choosing if it is properly understood. To actually have a rudimentary grasp of the base code, one would have to travel to a large range of worldlines though. And there are actually a way to measure gravity from black holes, gravity waves: [URL="http://www.space.com/31922-gravitational-waves-detection-what-it-means.html"]Gravitational Waves: What Their Discovery Means for Science and Humanity[/URL] [I][B][SIZE=6]Calculating relative divergence[/SIZE][/B][/I] From memory John said something about sampling the gravity field around the vehicle before travelling, this is one type of data that would be used in trying to measure the divergence, as for instance, if the gravity field of the earth is halved technology and thus society would take a different path.

To minimise the divergence error in the modern era (More accurate reading), one could use gravity readings for that point in time and take a sample and cross reference it to what it should be.
