It was one of the many ways that negatron matter was changing the world. It completely revolutionized travel. It revolutionized the concept of effective distance. It revolutionized the concept of separation. Rui suspected that not even his father could fathom just how much the world would change in the coming years once negatron matter completely dispersed across human civilization.
Perhaps it would become ubiquitous enough that public transportation would now consist of negatron-empowered wormholes that could teleport people from one end to another. Perhaps it would revolutionize the very foundations of one's worldview.
Gaia was a large and vast world, far beyond most people's ability to completely explore, even if they were wealthy. But once negatron matter became omnipresent, perhaps people would start thinking that the world was actually extremely small, because continents were just one step away and just one moment away.
