13. There's a wormhole that shortens the distance?

In Bujold's Vorkosigan universe, the distance between planets can be quite different, depending on which series of wormholes one uses to jump. It not only gets around the light speed limit, but explains why some planets that would be otherwise be too marginal to considered desirable for human habitation can be worth fighting over: their proximity to a wormhole makes them valuable as a transit point, rather as Greenland is for planes needing to refuel when taking a polar route.

Of course that's twisting physics - as well as logic - into a pretzel. I don't remember wormholes being mentioned in SW at all, and only touched on as a hazard in ST: "OMG! We're caught in a wormhole! Do something!"
