You are subversives, all!

It’s weird though, As Richard Morgan said, if you dissect a sf/f book, it’s all nonsense; the trick is in making it seem possible. Suspension of belief.

Anyway, if I can find a way not to upset the physicists, I will. If not, go with the magic…

As long as you are consistent within your own universe, the majority of your readers will understand about the same level of physics as you do and will never know the difference *grin*.

Trudi also made a reference to Glenda in that show. The link is here:

I’m with Richard – bugger the laws of physics. It’s a story, make it up.
