Does time pass during a jump?

Yes and no. The average jump is absolutely instantaneous — no time passes for the outside world or for the crew of a ship. Very occasionally, a jump will take a short amount of time — the crew of a ship will be able to view the jump tunnel from within. The supernode of a pulsar, however, is a different story. It can often take several hours for a ship to pass through a pulsar’s jump point — all of which is experienced by the ship itself.
