But a broken kneecap required two operations-one to repair the fracture, a second to remove the scars-before the famous gam was as good as new. "I was very lucky," said Gina...
According to the relativity equations, that "tachyon" (a name that Feinberg coined from the Greek word for "swift") should have other strange characteristics. Unlike familiar particles, which gam mass and energy as they accelerate toward the speed of light, Femberg's particle would lose mass and energy as it accelerated beyond the light barrier. At infinite speeds, it would theoretically have no mass or energy at all. Like a plane going faster than the speed of sound, a tachyon with an electrical charge would generate a "light boom" as it traveled faster than 186,000 m.p.s. The boom would...

Under Booker's corporate shield, tax savings are higher and earnings can accumulate as capital. Booker, which pays its stable fixed salaries, also negotiates film rights and merchandise tie-ins, thereby leaves them free to write-and make more money...
