was reading C.S. Lewis' Out of the Silent Planet. in the book he talks about these beings called eldila that rule on malacandra (mars). the theory is that these eldil move at just about the speed of light and since we can only see things that are slower than the speed of light, the eldil can only be 'seen' by subtle changes in the light and most often, not at all.

interestingly this could mean that there's a whole world of things out there that we can't see simply because they move faster than light.

angels? :)

(still don't quite understand the einstein theory that time slow when it approaches the speed of light. anyone?)
