DESTINATIONS: Some Thoughts on Long-Distance Travel

IMAGE: A spatial fold and distorted central force field.

Linda: Well, our whole existence is a warp-bubble.

Lex:   (nodding) Hmm. The spaceships of our minds might have hyper-spatial drives, but spacesuits 
       of our bodies are fragile.

Linda: Don't worry – we only need imagination to travel . . . it's possible to go anywhere 
       through thought.

Ron:   (shaking his head) Eh? What delusion! If you examine history closely, you'll see how 
       various people who have claimed to travel afar – each offering contradictory claims 
       about different beings.

Lis:   Well, perhaps they went to different places?

Tim:   (winking mischievously) Or perhaps they looked through different lenses?
