Reading through Green Lantern stuff, do we have any guideline for how large the space sectors are for calculating feats of travelling between them? So far I came up with a few methods:
1. There's a few statements that the guardians govern the entire universe despite only 3600 sectors, so divide the volume of the universe by 3600 and get a radius - this isn't very reliable for a few reasons I've noticed, namely for all of these feats so far it's not insane to say GL could live on the outskirts and travel to nearby one's. Also, I've been told the GL governing the entire universe is heavily contradicted.
2. Assume that the sector is at least occupying separate galaxies, so use the distance between galaxies as the distance needed to enter another sector - this one gets contradicted by a statement that Hal's sector doesn't cover the entire Milky Way galaxy (not to say it isn't galaxy sized, just that its border doesn't neatly encompass it) so there could be a four corners monument type situation in the Milky Way.
3. Assume that the sector is at least occupying the solar system so Hal needs to travel to another solar system to exit it - this one is fine, it's just such an absurd lowball that it's not even worth using. I mean in all of these feats he's going to alien planets, we already know it's solar system hopping.
For added context, I'm reading post-crisis stuff so I'd prefer statements from that era.
