Only
we
two
,
"
said
Sennor
casually
,
"
Rice
and
myself
.
A
beautiful
instrument
we
have
here
.
It
has
the
level
of
complexity
of
a
spaceship
.
"
Rice
was
a
paunchy
man
with
the
perplexed
look
of
one
who
is
accustomed
to
being
right
yet
finds
himself
unaccountably
on
the
losing
side
of
an
argument
.
He
rubbed
his
bulbous
nose
and
said
,
"
Sennor
’
s
mind
is
running
on
space
-
travel
lately
.
"
Sennor
’
s
bald
head
glistened
in
the
light
.
"
It
’
s
a
neat
point
,
Twissell
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
put
it
to
you
.
Is
space
-
travel
a
positive
factor
or
a
negative
factor
in
the
calculus
of
Reality
?
"
"
The
question
is
meaningless
,
"
said
Twissell
impatiently
.
"
What
type
of
space
-
travel
in
what
society
under
what
circumstances
?
"
"
Oh
,
come
.
Surely
there
’
s
something
to
be
said
concerning
spacetravel
in
the
abstract
.
"
"
Only
that
it
is
self
-
limiting
,
that
it
exhausts
itself
and
dies
out
.
"
"
Then
it
is
useless
,
"
said
Sennor
with
satisfaction
,
"
and
therefore
it
is
a
negative
factor
.
My
view
entirely
.
"
"
If
you
please
,
"
said
Twissell
,
"
Cooper
will
be
here
soon
.
We
will
need
the
floor
clear
.
"
"
By
all
means
.
"
Sennor
hooked
an
arm
under
that
of
Rice
and
led
him
away
.
His
voice
declaimed
clearly
as
they
departed
.
"
Periodically
,
my
dear
Rice
,
all
the
mental
effort
of
mankind
is
concentrated
on
space
-
travel
,
which
is
doomed
to
a
frustrated
end
by
the
nature
of
things
.
I
would
set
up
the
matrices
except
that
I
am
certain
this
is
obvious
to
you
.
With
minds
concentrated
on
space
,
there
is
neglect
of
the
proper
development
of
things
earthly
.
I
am
preparing
a
thesis
now
for
submission
to
the
Council
recommending
that
Realities
be
changed
to
eliminate
all
space
-
travel
eras
as
a
matter
of
course
.
