When c Comes out Even

A far out measurement standard based in space.

Thanks to Isaac Asimov

I must make an acknowledgement here that the late Isaac Asimov's writing certainly influenced a lot of my scientific orientation over the years.  I recently discovered that he wrote over 1,600 science shorts for publication in various magazines.  I read far less than 100 of these in such collection books as "Only a Trillion" and "Adding a Dimension."

In re-reading some of these collections recently I realized that I had copied some of Asimov's humor and attitude into my own writing.  The sincerest form of flattery, they say.

I am saved from any form of plagiarism, however, by the simple fact that Asimov would never have stooped to using my specious arguments to get his point across.  He was a well-trained scientist.

The items below are...

Speed and Awareness

This is a spectra of what can sense what based on speed.  The snail in the furlong page reminded me that I had collected these concepts a few years back.

Oooo, then there's The Time of Your Life... still a WIP

And This'll Kill You!, yeah still working on that, too.  Keep expanding, then reading for more background, then interruptions.

more to follow
