Still, reporters hoped he might throw them a bone. One asked: If Duchovny's going to be in 11 episodes, yet there'll be only six or seven mythology ones - during at least some of which he'll presumably be on a spaceship - how will they work the abductee into the stand-alones in the meantime? "You'll see how that works," he said. "And hopefully you'll think it's very clever of us." Judging by how well the man improvises onstage, we won't be a bit surprised...
...show. And some of Carter's questioners had Sci-Fi-Convention Syndrome, expecting the creator to spit out, like a creative jukebox, the answers to all manner of ephemera and hypotheticals. How will Mulder feel if it turns out Scully's preggers by somebody else? Was the spaceship in the season finale the same kind of spaceship as in the movie? "This one was the sports car," Carter said, bemused, "and the other was the Lincoln Continental...
...could try to construct a cosmic-string time machine by finding a large loop of cosmic string and somehow manipulating it so it would contract rapidly under its own tension, like a rubber band. The extraordinary energy density of the string curves space-time sharply, and by flying a spaceship around the two sides of the loop as they pass each other at nearly the speed of light, you'd travel into the past...
...that fast. Albert Einstein said so. His special theory of relativity had at its heart an astonishing claim: the speed of light in a vacuum is always the same, for all observers. Shine a flashlight out into space and the light goes at 186,000 m.p.s. Jump into a spaceship and chase the beam at 185,000 m.p.s. and it recedes from you not at 1,000 m.p.s. but at 186,000 m.p.s. If you head in the opposite direction at 185,000 m.p.s., the light beam still moves away at...you guessed...
Indeed, in highly non-zero-sum games the players' interests overlap entirely. In 1970, when three Apollo 13 astronauts were trying to get their stranded spaceship back to Earth, the outcome would be either equally good for all of them or equally bad. (It was equally good...
