The Elsewhere

I don't know why people have middle names, maybe to avoid confusion in families where several relatives have the same first and last name. Some people don't have middle names, but I understand that Mexicans have lots of them. Or is that just a politically incorrect myth? Is Gus a real name, or is it short for something like Gustov or Gustafson?

So the thing about the two stars and the thing about the two spaceships are two different things? I'm a little clearer on that now than I was before. I figured it must have something to do with time, but I wasn't sure. Some time ago I watched a video course on that sort of thing. Although I understand it a little better than I did before, I'm sure there's more to it than I understand. Nevertheless, I try to keep an open mind about stuff like that, you never know when it might come in handy. Like when it inspired me to formulate the Beaglesonian Corollary to Einstein's Theory of Relativity: If time slows down as your speed increases, it follows that time must speed up as your speed decreases. Old people move a lot more slowly than young people, which explains why time passes faster for them.

There was another thing in that course that should inspire me like that, but it hasn't so far. Do you know anything about "the elsewhere"? It has something to do with the time it takes light, or any electromagnetic wave, to travel from one celestial body to another. Anything that happens during that time happens in the elsewhere. Like, if it takes nine seconds for a radio transmission to go from Earth to Mars, then anything that happens on either Earth or Mars during those nine seconds happens in the elsewhere. It didn't happen on Earth, it didn't happen on Mars, it happened in the elsewhere, or something like that.

I understand there was a big hoopla around your place yesterday. An estimated 50,000 people gathered in the street to watch Nick Wallenda walk a wire high above them. The people who watched in on TV probably got a better view, without the worry of old Nick losing his footing and falling on them, but some people just have to be there. We don't get the Discovery Channel, but I saw some bits of it on the Weather Channel and on Face Book. I understand that you didn't have a view of it from your balcony, so where did you go to watch it?
