Quote #4
I am going to look at the stars. They are so far away, and their light takes so long to reach us, all we ever see of stars are their old photographs (IV.1.8-9).
It’s true that most stars are long gone by the time their light reaches Earth. So stars are like memories? Stop blowing our minds, Alan Moore.
Quote #5
“Professor Einstein says that time differs from place to place. Can you imagine? If time is not true, what purpose have watchmakers, hein?" (IV.3.6).
Is Einstein’s theory that time is relative really the same thing as “time [being] untrue”? What does this mean for us time-loving human beings?
Quote #6
We stop at the newsstand and buy a copy of Time Magazine, commemorating Hiroshima Week. On the cover there is a damaged pocket watch, stopped at the instant of the blast, face cracked, hands frozen (IV.24.6-7).
Back in the day, being on the cover of Time Magazine meant the person or event was extremely, extremely important. One of the things it did was make the temporary spotlight of fame seem very permanent.
