The mention of Star Trek yesterday got me thinking ! Did they explain why when the ship went in and out of warp speed the cast didn't suddenly rush from one side of the set to the other ?
I think to simulate the effect they should have tipped the stage up at a steep angle .

You mean "a time loop in which a time traveler who has gone into the past causes an event that ultimately causes the original future version of the person to go back into the past."

But I've gone no-where. At least I don't think I have.

I knew you'd say that.

I thought you said that tomorrow.

Next week I was talking to someone about the Kraken waking and the Triffids' day. So I will also have read the Wanderers in Time by John Wyndham.

Must be near light speed now, just got the alert for this one.

I didn't say it was to wake me up... It's more of a Belt and Braces system so I don't lose track of time in the morning and wind up being late for work.

Do multiple ones work then.

Well, I have a tendency to get distracted by things like CC*, so I have one going off every half hour or so...

*Kids: this is what happens when you don't have a social life.

You're safe so long as you don't wander around/are doing something else whilst distracted though.

When's he going to write that?

I just wore a woolly hat on my bread run. My ears were glad to be spared the headwind on the way home.

Postman has been for a walk along the beach.I like this sort of life.

We have just been up to have our Flu jabs . There were a lot of people up there and they had organised a system to ferry us through .

The artificial gravity system has compensating buffers for dropping out of warp speed.
