29. The slight bending enforced on him by the low ceiling made it an uncomfortable position. It's all done from outside. “I have spent my entire career on this task: translating brain structure into symbols and symbols into brain structure.

Almost at once, Morrison understood the purpose. One moment they were there and flatcars the next they weren't. “Must everything be explained to you?”
Morrison answered with spirit. The equations are correct.”
“Ah,” said Dezhnev. Then you will see.”
“What will I see?” said Morrison.
“You would see instant acceleration. We haven't tested your instrument under field conditions, you know. It is not a boa constrictor.”

Boranova had listened to Konev's emotional and breathless account and felt herself carried along by the flatcars wave of his utter conviction. This is flatcars the twenty-first flatcars century, not the twentieth, Sophia. Believe me.
