A solar system can seem so small yet so large.

If you have read my entry regarding Hard SF you know I have found it diffuclt finding a way to classify the story of Falidon's Whistle under that category, that was until recently. I found that since this was to be an introduction piece it needed to start on a wider scale in addition to everything else in the story. Then cameabout the idea of Alfigadan Smattents. What a Smattent is is nothing more then a brain dead (seemingly)Alfigadan chemists or pedestrians who believe in the consumption of smatter or as Carl Sagan would put it 'star stuff', essentially what the solar system and space is made up of. They catalouge what they eat and what everyone else consumes as to reach a plain of connection no one else has. Of course they are nuts and they want to eat a trambled and torn apart morphalm egg carrying infant for more young smatter. Why not have the opening talk about the formation of their solar system and the chemical elements that made their resting places on certain asteroids or planets or moons? Thid means a further delay in the writin process because due to the immense ammount of detail in my textbook I have just made it to the Jovian planets after having read about astrohistory,visual phenom,radiation, every type pof wavelength imaginable, etc... I am currently close to page three hundred and have about another 75 until the formation of our own solar system... Pattttttttttooooofffft!!!!
