Yeah, okay, whatever. Anyway, in my game humans haven't explored other star systems...yet. So it's not an issue. What is an issue is the state of the system's economy.

Speaking of which, my timeline has a new kind of temporal anomally, which I call a Biconditional. It's governed by two Linchpins. If one is filliped from black to red, the paradox opens, but if the other one is flipped from black to red also, the paradox closes! What do you think of that?

What bothers me the most in Sci Fi is when they refer to star systems, other than ours as "Solar Systems". No - the "solar" system is the system orbiting the start "sol". Of course we usually just call it the "sun" :)

Many languages DO call the Earth Terra, though.  French for one. :)

Mr. Bulb, where have you been the last 300 years?  Luna is the
scientific  name for the moon.  Everybody knows that!



How often do you call the planet most of us live on "Terra"?
