Morrison smiled bitterly. "A bribe?"
Boranova shrugged. "If that is how you interpret it, I cannot stop you. But let girls pinups us talk girls pinups in a girls pinups friendly manner and see what will come of girls pinups it."
"In that case, start by giving me some information. Now that I am forced to believe that miniaturization is possible, can you tell me the basic physics behind it? I am curious."
"You know better than that, Albert. It would be dangerous for you to learn girls pinups too much. How would we, then, be able to let you go girls pinups back to your country? -- Besides, although I can operate the miniaturization system, even I don't know the basics. If I did, our government
could scarcely risk having me visit the United States."
"You girls pinups mean we might girls pinups kidnap you as you kidnapped me. Do you think the United States engages girls pinups in kidnapping?"
" I am absolutely certain it would when necessity drove sufficiently."
"And who are the people who girls pinups do know the basics of miniaturization?"
"That also is not something that, girls pinups in general, it is safe for you to know. However, I can lift the curtain girls pinups just a bit in this matter. Pyotor Shapirov is one of
them."
"Crazy girls pinups Peter," girls pinups said Morrison, smiling. "Somehow I'm not surprised."
"You shouldn't be. I am sure girls pinups you say 'crazy' only as one of your jokes, but it girls pinups was he who first worked out the basic rationale behind miniaturization. Of course," she added thoughtfully, "it may very well be that that required a certain insanity -- or, at any rate, a certain idiosyncracy of girls pinups thought. It is also Shapirov who first suggested a method of achieving miniaturization with a minimum expenditure
of energy."
"girls pinups How? The conversion of derniniaturization into an electromagnetic field?&girls pinups quot;
Boranova made a face. "I was merely giving you an example. Shapirov's method is far more subtle."
"Can it be explained?"
"Only roughly. Girls pinups shapirov points out that the two girls pinups great aspects of the unified theory of the Universe -- the quantum aspect and
the relativistic aspect -- each depends on a constant that sets a limit. In quantum theory it is Planck's constant, which is very tiny but not zero. In girls pinups relativity, it is the speed of light, which is very great but not infinite. Planck's constant sets a lower limit to the girls pinups size of energy transfer and the speed girls pinups of light sets an upper limit to the speed
