-Demosthenes-

So, Peter had two names on the Nets (what they call their version of the internet in the book) Locke was the one he used to influence people and to gain popularity, and Demosthenes was used to anger people and get them to do things and to think. I act more like the second part, so I used that one.

But in the "The shadow of the Hegomon" (Which is the last one I read) Peter did both because Valentine (his sister) left with Ender at the end of Ender's game to some far away planet. Anyway, when Valintine was writing under the name Denosthenes Peter told her everything to write.

Red shift?

ahahahhaahhahahahhahahahhahahah! Well, if you don't know what a hic is why would I think to know that you would know what a red neck is! A guy at my school last year was from England, so we made fun of his accent. He told us that to someone from England we sound like Hics.

What is "Tennents"?

I don't think that there's a single food, but which one could you last the longest? But do you have water?

That's happened to me before. Even though I have only been around for one and a half decades.

What evidence do they use to say that c is the fastest anything can go. --curious

Yes and no. If the whole universe and everything in it is expanding then light would take longer to get places. So it really is going slower, or just that the universe is expanding, but they are both the same thing really because of what I said above.

Found it at http://www.bartleby.com/59/9/demosthenes.html Interesting, I skimed over some of the stuff about him before but never read about that.

About Peter's name on the nets, or the Greek guy? To be honest I don't remember anything about pebbles, but I'll look up the greek guy.

Okay, I think I can barely understand, but maybe not. You must have some kind of degree in light travel or something, I 'm going to bed.

I'm an alien to all the British people! If they could hear me talk, I'd sound like a hic to 'em! Maybe you don't know what a hic is, how alien!

It's an interesting one, I'll tell you that! Anyway: Does time go any slower for the things that are going just under the speed of light? I'm Curious.

I've been reading the posts, but I honestly don't completely understand it. Can we put it all in a nutshell, just for me? I think I know "what" but I don't think I know "why". Signed--Confused

Opps! Already put most of that in an earlier post!

One word posts? I guess most of my posts are in the religious forum. Pebbles? Has anyone read the other books in the Ender's Game series: 1) Ender's Game 2) Speaker of the dead 3) Xenocide 5) Children of the Mind Or the parallel series: 1) Ender's Shadow 2) Shadow of the Hegomon 3) Shadow Puppets

Demosthenes? Someone finally caught on! It was one of Peter's name on the net. I thought it would be cool. Do you know the religion of Orson Scott Card (the author of Ender's game) he's LDS! like me! It's fun to pick out all the hidden concepts in his books (unless I make them up in my own mind ) And if you like Ender's Game I think you would really like "Ender's Shadow", "The Shadow of the Hegomon", and "The shadow Puppets". You might like "Speaker for the dead", "Xenocide", or "children of the Mind".

Has anyone read Ender's Game? It's a science fiction book. I read it and think it's awesome.Ender's Game site

But they don't learn the things that they cheat on!

Sounds really really bad. I don't think I'll eat "crisps" again. I think the word crisp sounds more healthy than chip, but that doesn't matter.

Can anything else go that fast?

Might there be another way that viniger could help with scurvy? Or did it not help at all?

So light beam A and B are heading in opposite directions. They are only going *c, then isn't it going half of c relative to the planet? *(I think I've learned that c represents the speed of light from other's post, tell me if I'm wong)

Does light have totally different properties from everything else in the universe? One of thoses things that I'll never inderstand, seems like. Very interesting.
