In the afternoon after the space warp,their lunch breaks at one of the coarding discoveries on the new planet
"…from satellite photos we can see that the planet has an atmosphere, but it doesn't appear to support the formation of low and mid cloud layers This lack of heavy cloud layers coincides with our observation that the planet doesn't have any aquatic terrain Even its polar ends don't seem to carry ice caps It would appear this planet is si oldcaptured photos of the planet between bites of braised beef
Frowning, the man beside him interjected, "That's a wild comparison to make Yes, the planet appears to have a surface that's as dry as Mars', but after the photos are enlarged, you can see that the land's completely covered hat appears to be sand There is a distinct lack of variations in its crust layers; where are the hlands, or valleys? There is none because the planet seems to be a sea of sand That, however, is anos since the planet is reported to have an overallaccelerated wind patterns that would cause severe weathering of its surface into a sea of sand that we're witnessing here"
A fe a reed, "Yes, that is indeed very weird Froical perspectives, this is an i that lasts at least a few hundred billion years to have everything on a planet's surface reduced to sand particles We don't have an exact nuer than that Then again, everything we know about basic physics e ht the attention of another scientist that was passing her table who stopped and openly jeered at her as he retorted, "Why would our knowledge of basic physics be wrong? They are theories that have been tried and retried for thousands of years! How dare you question the integrity of the school of physics! Could you discredit the validity of gravity? Could you…"
"Alright, alright, Silewei, let's get to our seats Save your energy for the acade to catch later at two," said a fifty-so the heated physicist ahile looking apologetically at the coize for et a bit too serious about his passion, which in his case is the study of physics Again, I apologize"
After that, he gave a bow and dragged Sileho was still in the middle of his tirade "Alan, you yourself kno people are looking at physics nowadays The success of space warping has completely undermined its institution If this continues, the sanctity of our area of science will…"
As the pair drifted off, the re scientists shared a few stiff chuckles The fact was that academic debates such as the one that had just taken place was already commonplace even before the actual space warp The presence of such advanced technology found in Noah Two had unhingedbeliefs in the unassailable logic of scientific inquiry Faced with a technology that they couldn't logically dissect, there existed a need to convince others to indirectly convince theuh the presence of a Geruet back to where we left off," said the fee the conversation "Personally, I believe we need to have an expedient landing on the planet Only then e be able to tell why the planet presents such a case of anoress we could ather Honestly, I cannot wait for the day of landing"
A young scientist beside her chirped, "I' with such haste They appear to adhere firmly to rules and protocols Without much more detailed deliberations, I'm doubtful anyone will land on the planet any tiation; noriven no access into the Academy, to which even technical workers and army have to apply for entry Furtherulations released yesterday? That's a lot of rules to be followed"
"It's better that way!" agreed the older generation of the party in unison, and one of the, "The fact that they are strict about rules being keptand upholding the inviolability of order Young'un, let me let you in on a secret: if it weren't for their desire and penchant for order, I wouldn't have agreed to co as things don't devolve into chaos, then that's our greatest blessing"
