Hello to my kind and intelligent readers. I’ve enjoyed a couple of days off and spent a little time with my friend Dorian fishing at his place just out of town. He doesn’t spend much time in Harappahause too often anymore. He only goes there to attend formal state functions, and that is becoming more and more rare these days.
Dorian was in the middle of things for so long I think he’s tired of all the political batlingshit.
We spent plenty of time solving the Galaxies’ problems over a bottle of wine (or two). Dorian told me he is enjoying reading this blog but he asked me to issue a correction regarding Harvest Day.
Dorian is not a scientist but he knows some. The science derns among us chafe when the normal of us say the Harvest Day explosion knocked Harappa off its orbit. Almost everyone tells it that way. However the geeky crowd wish we would be more accurate and say that the explosion broke the bond between planet Harappa and the Blue Moon. That’s why the planet is falling into its sun.
Illumaphane has such a strong gravity pull, planet Harappa would have fallen into its sun millions of years ago if the Blue Moon wasn’t constantly pulling it away. The Harvest Day blast didn’t actually knock Harappa off its orbit but the shock wave did move the Blue Moon and broke the gravity chain between the worlds.
There Dorian, feel better?
The rest of you can still say that Harvest Day blasted Harappa off its orbit like I do. Just know that someday some geek will try to correct you. Tell ‘em I said it’s OK.
