The real question is whether the displacement is geometric or exponential.
--If geometric then the rate is Island/Real time:
= 2 45/60 : 3 15/60 = 2.75 : 3.25 = 5.5 : 6.5 = 11 : 13
--If exponential the rate could grow the longer one is and / or distant
from
the Island.
And then if it's periodic or cyclic, so that the range of discrepancy
changes minimal to maximum (e.g., maybe the time difference ranges from 30
minutes ahead to 30 minutes behind, etc.) then all bets are off.
Note: If the rocket travelled in a "straight line" from the ****p off the
Island to the beacon it could be that Island physically warps the fabric
of
space itself, at least some distance in the air, so that distance is
actually greater than it would appear visually.
