re: #183 Michele: Out of the closet, Into the fire

As much as I hate to give him credit for anything, Card actually did a very good job explaining of this phenomena in his Ender series.

Agree 100% that Card’s views are deplorable. As a far lesser point, Card took liberties with the science for dramatic effect, by assuming faster than light communication, but no faster than light travel. That was a fine story telling device, but it is not consistent with known physics (both FTL communication and FTL travel are ruled out by known physics).
