[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] We're not certain exactly what the range of a resurrection ship/facility is, they're very clever about not painting themselves into a corner that way. As for Galactica being "hard" sci-fi; as Herb points out that's simply not the case. Yes the phones have cords and yes the visual effects team seam to have a reasonable grasp of physics; that is enough to fake it so it looks authentic enough, but not at the expense of drama. However there's plenty in the show that is more fiction than science. Harvey Six being a huge example, as is Cylon cybernetic technology in general, artificial gravity and let's not forget the light show in the tomb of Athena. FLT is a necessary plot devise. Without it, it'd take them millennia to get anywhere. As far as the lack of relativistic effects go, as I said, the detection of the Cloud 9 explosion proves that there is none (at least not very much) to say nothing of the numerous instances of timed rendezvous. As for the how, we can only theorise it uses higher dimensional physics that is at present, beyond our understanding. I mean it's not like we've cracked all the secrets of the universe and even what we do "know" isn't correct 100% of the time. After all, it's called the THEORY of relativity, not the laws of relativity. I think even Einstein wasn't totally satisfied that they'd accounted for everything. [/QB][/QUOTE]
