Parallel Worlds pro et contra - стр. 102
– Thanks to the residual radiation from the Big Bang, we can see how everything in the universe is constantly moving and changing. And our galaxy is just one part of that process. And now I invite you to my table and give up my chair," the scientist said almost solemnly.
Amita, on the other hand, was lost in his manners. "You again…" and then, "I yield my chair." What could that mean? And why was I invited here in the first place?" – she thought as she sat down in a chair that looked like a fantasy installation. As Amita sat in it, the chair spoke to her. She jumped up in surprise.
– Uh-oh, stranger. I don't like to carry strangers," the chair squealed.
And after Amita stood up, the chair said:
– Okay, okay, I like you. I'm ready for you.
This both surprised and embarrassed Amita. Ruthra came up, laughing with Parmen.
– Get used to it, even a spoon can talk here," he told her while gesturing to the scientist, who nodded.
Ruthra kissed Amita on the top of her head, and Parmen smiled as he looked at her. She made a satisfied face, smiling back, though she realized that the scientist was not flirting with her. Amita had already realized the peculiarity of his character.
– I'll do a little digging while he entertains you," Ruthra said and kissed her again, now on the cheek.
– That's enough, that's enough," the scientist became indignant and, for some reason taking himself by the throat with all the fingers of his left palm, added: "This is already a breach of protocol. I protest," he said loudly, smiling to mark the jocularity of what he had said.
– Let me tell you how we break the laws around here.
– Is there such a thing? – Amita also asked in a joking tone.
– You bet. First, what we're violating. The speed of light in a vacuum is the absolute value of the speed of propagation of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum. I hope you agree with me that any event can have an effect on what happens after it and cannot have an effect on what happened before it. And from this it follows that the speed of any signal and elementary particle cannot exceed the speed of light. Thus, the speed of light in vacuum is the limiting speed of particle motion and propagation of interactions.
– We'll pretend that you've explained very clearly," Amita copied the accepted mannerisms Amita had noticed between Rutra and her colleagues, and jokingly made it clear that the scientist was asserting a pattern in science, but not explaining why or how.
He, however, already accustomed to her, continued:
– In nature, visible light and other types of electromagnetic radiation, radio waves, X-rays, gamma quanta and presumably gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light. However.
