    I love the subtlety. The older brother was obviously trying to keep him busy so he wouldn't sulk, but it's never directly stated. The main character isn't even aware of it in retrospect. The knee joint fusion engine is a stroke of genius by the way.

      Thanks, greyghost! It seems like that's how many great discoveries happen in life, luck + making weird connections that nobody else could if it hadn't been for that unfortunate ski crash they once had.

      Just listening to the growth of his library of writings is a joy and a privilege. It’s fun to anticipate what’s next and still enjoy stories I’ve already read or heard. I’m certain that Rowe will be counted among those we call the greats in less time than one might think. Though I’d remind everyone that overnight success takes years of hard work to achieve. 😮

    Where do you get all the wisdom? Skill I guess is from education, hard work and practice, talent - maybe blessed, but I work in a seniors' home which is overflowing with wisdom and I feel like I'm listening to them talking collectively about the world. Well whatever the source, be it nano-tech that slows aging, an extraterrestrial or astral muse or maybe you're a collective being, please keep it up!

    • @RoweLit
      @RoweLit  Рік тому

      I appreciate the compliment, but I'm not sure how to answer that, M. That's a bit hard to self-assess (or even accept). I did have a lot of exposure to the WWII generation of Americans when I was young, and they certainly left an impression on me. But I also studied Classics in college. There's probably no greater source for the collective wisdom of humanity than ancient history and mythology. That definitely has an influence on what/how I write. You want to read wise, read Thucydides, Aeschylus, or Ovid. Even writing those names puts me right back in my place 😀

      Zermatt is a cool town, EdP. Sorry to hear you missed by that little. I had a friend with a similar story who then got heavy into waterskiing and ended up leading the Sea World waterski team for many years.

    On a side note unless something has changed the lowest pointed racers go first (lowliest is fastest) w the highest pointed last out of the gate on single races like super g and dh.
    If she was just qualifying she likely would start mid to end of the field. For men it sucks bc all the girls go before the top guy and if you were deep in the men’s field the course is trash.

      I have an idea.... (Bet you hear that a lot!). You know how we can use huge, massive objects as gravitational lense to see further..... I wonder if light can be slingshot around to be sent back to its source, creating a cosmic mirror..... We could look at our region of space as it was in the past....however many light years away our mirror is, times two for the round trip.....

      Thanks, Observer! The voice actor(s) 😃are the same guy, who admittedly is frenetically multifaceted at times, but all still the same guy as the author. Sometimes I do feel like I have multiple personalities, though 😂I'd love to see some adaptations someday too, but in the meantime, just gonna keep writing.

    • @RoweLit
      @RoweLit  Рік тому +1

      @@theobserver9131 Interesting idea 🤔I'm definitely not a physicist and could be totally wrong, but wouldn't that send the light you are sending out at the moment back at you millions of years later like a super long distance video selfie? There's definitely a plot for that, though 😃

    • @theobserver9131
      @theobserver9131 Рік тому

      @@RoweLit Yes, the light you send out would take time...depending on the distance; One light year away = one year each way, so two years total. one year to the massive object, and one year return.
      So it would basically be a time machine, like our telescopes are. We see no objects as they are now. We see them as they were when the photons began their journey. 100 light years away; one hundred years in the past.....one million light years away, one million years in the past....
      So, in the case of a "cosmic mirror", we would double that time to account for the round trip. If there was a Cosmic Mirror 100 million light years away, we would be seeing light that left our region 200 million years in the past.

    • @theobserver9131
      @theobserver9131 Рік тому

      It wouldn't have to be a massive object I suppose...that's just the only thing I could think of that might function as a Cosmic Mirror. I'm sure you have a huge number of folks who know a lot more than I do who could come up with some phenomena or mechanism that might do the job. It would have to be something that has existed already, not something we make and deliver many light years away.....unless we invoke FTL travel, but in that case, we wouldn't need the mirror....
