The Speed of Light

3.9/5 ( ratings)

Witt and Raff and I have gone deep into physics and chemistry and electromagnetism and gravity and geology and magic and baseball in its thirty versions, and we have come out the other side. We have done all the experiments you can do on train tracks.We have smashed organic and inorganic matter. We've sawed a baseball exactly in half with a broken crosscut saw. We've burned ourselves and made ourselves sick. Things are changing.

Torkelson and Kidder are out of baseball and after girlfriends. Witt is going to want to do experiments all summer. He says his goal is "to find out everything. I don't want to know just part."
