"One of the problems has to do with the speed of light and the
difficulties involved in trying to exceed it. You can't. Nothing travels
faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news,
which obeys its own special laws. The Hingefreel people of Arkintoofle Minor
did try to build spaceships that were powered by bad news but they didn't
work particularly well and were so extremely unwelcome whenever they arrived
anywhere that there wasn't really much point in being there."
