How much time passes between leaps?
Time between the leaps is instantaneous for Sam. For those back at PQL, the gap seems to vary. We’ve heard mention of gaps as long as six days, and were even once treated to the sight of an instantaneous leap in from the point-of-view of the Waiting Room. It would appear that the lengths of the between-leap gaps for the PQL staff are random. [Kwong] 15. Does time pass differently at PQL than it does for Sam? We’ve never seen an indication that it does. At most, there is a time difference resulting from, say, Sam leaping into Smallville at 9am while back at the Project it’s 11:30pm…the kind of difference one would get when trying to place a long-distance call to someone in another time zone. There is no indication that an hour’s length for Sam is not the same as an hour’s length for the PQL staff. [Kwong] To state it more specifically, once Sam leaps in and PQL locates him, his “clock” and the Project’s “clock” become locked in synch. As in the Smallville example above, if Al steps in
