This is from EvE Science articles:
 Quote:
Jump gates are built around artificial wormholes, created by exploiting gravitational resonances found in binary systems. This resonance is as a friction between gravitational waves of stellar objects, the more massive the objects, the stronger the resonance between them. Positions of planets in a solar system, as well as the complex structure of dust rings around heavy planets illustrate this resonance.
And this is from www.eve-gate.com "About EvE":

There are over 5,000 Binary star systems to explore, colonize, trade in, live in, and die in.
But... there are 0 binary systems in the game itself that i know of.

0 is binary isn't it ? ....

How many systems have zero stars?
Not to mention binary in this case would seem to mean two because of the whole resonance thing.
However gravitational resonance? Thank god real sci-fi authors at least know the definitions of the words they use to describe fictitious subjects.

A star can be a member of a binary system and still be a very far distance from it's partner. What makes a binary system is two stars orbiting each other. Distance does not matter. One could be so far away from the other that they appear as only another star in the sky for an observer at either star.
So, in the context of the game the story line would still hold true.

Yes a Binary system means it has two stars. It's not to be confused with binary code such as 1001101100.
In fact i don't think there are actually 5000 systems in total in eve, let alone 5000 systems with two stars in them.
I would think that jump gates would work on the principal of pulling two points in space closer together as this is what wormholes are theorised as doing through intense gravity. Though quantum physics is not really my strong point I admit. Though this was my understanding of jump gates. Either that or they are giant transporters that break down what goes through them, fires them through space and reassembles them at the other end. Though this would require that they not go faster than the speed of light so it would still take years to get to the other gate rather than seconds. So I doubt it.
Maybe a hybrid blending of the two?

There are more than 5000 systems iirc.

Or (and this might sound crazy at first, but bear with me) you might remember that Eve is a game and doesn't need to have a universe dictated by the laws of physics or consistent fictional explanations.

Nerd mode on:
Half or more of all-stars in our local space are in orbit around another star or stars. They are stars whose fates are permanently linked by gravity to that of their companion star or stars. Take the SunÆs neighbours for example, out to about 15 ly at least half are in multiple systems. In most of these multiple-star systems, there are just two stars, binary star systems, whose components may be separated by a large fraction of a light year or more, or they may be almost touching.
Now granted EVE does not show these almost ôtouchingö systems but in doing that it would knock out the F11 mini maps completely rendering them useless as the orbits of planetary bodies would be all over the place.
No, I think you will find that the arguement that could be made; is that ôonlyö star systems with larger distances between binaries are used to make these gravitational waves and the worm holes that come with them. Thus is why you donÆt ôsee closeö binary star systems.
As for the 5000 systems, well that could possibly be argued, 5000 "populated" star systems by mankind so far.
Lastly, as for this comment....

There is no such thing as a system with "zero" star/s, if there is no star within, it is not a star system. That is unless you are talking of systems that have gone super-nova or have turned into black holes? But hey... that is something completely different here.

How come the 'flame towers' on certain bases actually have flames rising as if there were convection in space.
Space shuttle experiments have shown that fire off-gassing in 0G environments behaves very strangely, but since heat cannot 'rise', the off-gasses condense into a sooty ball around the flame source.
