I’d like to talk for a while about the plausibility of the sci-fi aspect of my NaNovel.
( Feel free to tune out )
Anyone have any ideas, or shall I just make myself some Magical!Futuristic!Ultra!High!Tech!Attenuationless!Glass? Or just gloss over it?
I must admit, glossing’s looking attractive, at the moment. :)
Next up, Part Two: Interpretational Implications (or: A most ingenious paradox!)
Edit: Stop press! Apparently, in certain gasses and at certain temperatures, the speed of light can be slowed down by a significant amount - enough to make it possible to make a photon cross a room at a slow enough pace to make this work. If this is the case - and it doesn't result in a high attenuation along the way - this looks like the go. Yay! Thanks, Geoff!
