It’s all right. After all, Han tripped first.

This will kill the legend. Han Solo has us all believing that he’s this noble scoundrel, smuggler, occasional patriot, when the grim truth is that he’s just one of those guys who goes around falling in front of land-speeders for insurance company payoffs.

I mean, I get that workplace safety is important. But installing safety rails on the Falcons gangway for an elderly Han Solo would have been pretty depressing.

Foodles will almost certainly get taken to the cleaners—they don’t have a leg to stand on.

Dr. Stuver, do gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light? Is that how they backtraced the time of the collision?

Said this over on my page, but:

This could be a hypothetical answer to the Great Silence. If other civilizations in our galaxy are using gravitational energy while we’re still slumming around the EM spectrum, our not seeing them would be like looking for campfires when we should be turning on the radio.

Space expanded. That is, the distance between any two points expanded. Technically everywhere used to be the center of the universe.

Since Albert Einstein first predicted their existence a century ago

It’s a good thing he’s dead because that mother fucker would be smug as all shit by now.
