Wait, you're complaining that earthboundkid is sucking the fun out of an Isaac Asimov story by dissecting the ideas held within it? I think you may find you have accidentally arrived at the wrong party.

I mean, of course the story defies physics. As do over 90% of Asimov's stories. As do most SF stories. Talking about these things is like going to a party to watch the soccer World Cup final and pontificating over how much better soccer would be if you could use your hands to hold the ball and run.
- technothrasher 4y ago> thought I was at the SF party, not the Skeptics party. Lol. Asimov was a founding member of CSICOP, the organization that literally started the modern Skeptical movement.
