You're right about the author - at one of the sciencier ends of his fantasia.

Is the 'why' something to do with sending messages? As for 'where' - no idea!

Getting the right answer is one half. Being able to explain why it's right is the other half.

I get the impression nobody knows this one...

I'll give it another day or so while I think up another one.

tap...tap.... this mic still on??

Is anything still moving here ? Its awfully silent for a while

is the Doctor in the house??

It's been a month. In the absence of the Doctor I'll hijack the thread and ask another question:

Let's have five SF doctors (medical doctors) from five different canons. e.g. if someone selected Doctor Strange (yes, he's a medical doctor though not generally known for that - and no, you can't use him, he's my example) you couldn't use anyone else from the Marvel universe.

Dr McCoy Star Trek
Dr Smith Lost in Space
Woodrow Wilson Smith/Lazarus Long Robert Heinlein's Lazarus Long series.
he states being a Dr in several of the books
one of many professions.

Dr Simon Tam Firefly
Dr Stephen Franklin Babylon 5

only googled to check names and spellings.... oldtimers is a bitch..lol

Yes to all of them - I throw the keys of this hijacked thread in your general direction...

taking the keys and running.......

lists of 5 seem to be fun so lets have another.
Name 5 engineers from 5 different universes.. will only accept 1 startrek engineer and you have a few to choose from!.

go!!!!

Scotty, from Star Trek
Fritz van Noon, from The Unorthodox Engineers by Colin Kapp
Kaywinnet Lee Frye ("Kaylee"), from Firefly

'Noisy' Rhysling, from The Green Hills of Earth by Heinlein.

Captain Augustine Washington, in Harry Harrison's Tunnel Through the Deeps (AKA A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah!)

Also the Ringworld engineers, in The Ringworld Engineers.

and ffutures makes 5.... a quick round is a clean round..
so quick another question before Rockdoctor comes back and demands his turn...lol
