Visonics
Angela: The study of light with finite speed is called “#^%@*∗^” in Zyrkonia. On earth, you can call it visonics.
Eskay: I can called it Eskay Visonics because this is new on earth.
Angela: Don’t be that pushy. The study of visonics is not new on earth. It had been studied as early as ancient Greece, about two thousand five hundred years ago.

Empedocles of Aragas
It started with Empedocles of Aragas (492-432 BC) who believed that the images in their various colors from the world outside the body were carried by the light from the objects to the eyes. This light, according to him, was also one form of the four elements, that is, it is a kind of matter in a specific form under transportation.
Since all material objects took time to travel from one place to another, light should be no exception.

Light in between
Aristotle (385-322 BC) thought (in a ridiculous way) that if light took time to travel, "any given time is divisible into parts, so that we should assume a time when the sun’s ray was not as yet seen but was still travelling in the middle space . . . before it reaches the earth." De sensu and De anima.

Image in between
With finite speed, there were bound to be images in between the object and the observer. Owing to the delay in transmission, the observer would see the image a moment later.
But this did not appeal to Aristotle.

Infinite Speed
Aristotle favored the idea of an infinite speed - that light traversed space in no time at all. Once light was emitted from the source, its effect was to be felt by the receiver instantaneously.
With the influence of Aristotle, the development of visonics on earth was blocked for over two thousand years. It was no until 1767 that the concept of Aristotle was overturned by the discovery of finite light speed by Römer.

An Unusual German Patent Clerk
However, even after the discovery of the finiteness of light speed, not too many scientists were alerted to the phenomenon of delayed transmission of images in space and time – until the beginning of the 19th century when a clerk in a Germany patent office started to ponder on the effects due to the finite speed of light . . .

Einstein’s Publication in 1905
In 1905, the “extraordinary year of Einstein”, Einstein published three papers:
1. Photoelectric effect;
2. Brownian movement;
3. Special Relativity.
Of these papers, the most influential one was the last one.
It is also relevant to our discussion because it has to do with the finite speed of light.

Einstein on the major issues of physics
Before the publication, Einstein must have been pondering seriously on the problems of classical physics: the relationship between space and time, the effects of motion on observations, the mystery of gravitation forces, the unification of physics, etc. and etc. - whatever he might lay his hand on.

Einstein may have been the Chosen Man
After reading his Relativity paper for the first time, we thought that Einstein may have been qualified to be the first man to be on the right track of visonics. We would have invited him to assist us as we did with you. Then Einstein would have inherited the vast treasure of our knowledge and open the way to a new physics on Earth.

Influence by Michelson
However, Einstein’s mind had a very special way of thinking, especially when it came to association. He was probably aware of Michelson’s concept of the Path B in the Michelson-Morley experiment which yields the two mysterious equations.

Inspired by Lorentz
He then drew inspiration from Lorentz’s postulate of length contraction to link up his idea of space and time.

A Deviated Course
So on second reading, we concluded that Einstein’s theory was actually different from our visonics, even from the very fundamentals.
Einstein had so many encumbrances with his postulates that they led him into a totally different course – Relativity.

Visonics being diverted
Instead of developing along the proper path of visonics, Einstein built up his personal kingdom of Relativity.
It’s influences grew by time as experiment after experiment seemed to verify and confirm his theory.
The development of visonics has been overlooked and left unattended to on Earth.
Theory of GeneralRelativity 1915
Römer discovered finite speed of light 1767.
Einstein launched theory of Special Relativity 1905.

Einstein presented himself
Angela: We wish to watch a little while more to see if Einstein would change his mind. But the situation went from bad to worse as the success of his theory grew.
Eskay: I think you have been quite prejudiced. It doesn’t sound fair for Dr. Einstein. He might have been right and you were wrong. May be we should talk to him personally.
Angela: That’s a good idea! May be we should have questioned him personally.

Einstein presented himself
I don’t know how Angela did it. But there was Dr. Einstein, standing in front of us, confident and happy as ever. Angela was a real witch.
Eskay: Oh. Dr. Einstein! We were just talking about that you had deviated from the right direction.
Einstein: I didn’t. You think so because my theory is on the right track and yours on the wrong one.

The Tournament
Eskay: Oh! Is that so! Then you have just come in time. We are just about to start the tournament between you of Earth and Zyrkonia. We wish to put your theory against visonics to see which is right.
Einstein: You are welcome.
Eskay: Since you are in favour of transformation so much in your theory, we put you in as a powerful wizard. Angela is the representative from Zyrkonia. She will be the witch.

Angela’s Preference
Angela: No! I protest. I don’t want to be an ugly old witch.
Eskay: OK! Take it easy! You may be anything you wish.
Angela: That is more like it. For my part, I would like to be a beautiful flowery witch or fairy in whatever form I like.
Eskay: OK! My dear princess! Just don’t be too fanciful.

Umpire and Scorers
Eskay: Just one more thing! When I see Dr. Einstein, I feel very intimated. Judging by how much I have, I think I am not qualified as an umpire.
Angela: I heard that Newton is also an alchemist besides being a great scientist. He is well qualified.
Einstein: I agree. He is the great man I want to meet as well.
Angela: Then we can have the two robots as the scorers too!
