Evil men have no songs. - AnnieAnsible



He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

    See http://www.reference.com/search?r=13&q=Ansible

    ----------------------------------
    Ansible
    Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -

    An ansible is a hypothetical machine capable of superluminal communication and used as a plot device in science fiction literature.

    Origin
    The word ansible was coined by Ursula K. Le Guin in her 1966 novel, Rocannon's World. Le Guin states that she derived the name from "answerable," as the device would allow its users to receive answers to their messages in a reasonable amount of time, even over interstellar distances. Her award-winning 1974 novel The Dispossessed tells of the invention of the ansible within her Hainish Cycle.

    Usage
    The name of the device has since been borrowed by authors such as Orson Scott Card, Vernor Vinge, Elizabeth Moon,, Jason Jones, L.A. Graf, and Dan Simmons. Similarly functioning devices are present in the works of numerous others, such as Frank Herbert and Philip Pullman, who called it a "lodestone resonator".

    etc.

    'Evil men have no songs.' How is it that the Russians have songs?

    He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

    "How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance that has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude."
    - Friedrich Nietzsche

    Possible connection to Tachyon...

    -----------------------------------
    Superluminal communication
    Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    "Superluminal communication is the term used to describe the hypothetical process by which one might send information at faster-than-light (FTL) speeds. All empirical evidence found by scientific investigation indicates that it's impossible in the real world.
    Some theories and experiments include:

    Group velocity > c experiments

    Evanescent wave coupling

    Tachyons

    Quantum non-locality

    According to the currently accepted theory, three of those four phenomena do not produce superluminal communication, even though they may give that appearance under some conditions. As for tachyons, their existence remains hypothetical; even if their existence were to be proven, attempts to quantize them appear to indicate that they may not be used for superluminal communication, because experiments to produce or absorb tachyons cannot be fully controlled."
