IV. The _Procyon_ bored on through space, at one unchanging gravity of acceleration. It may not seem, at first glance, that one gravity would result in any very high velocity; but when it is maintained steadily for days and weeks and months, it builds up to a very respectable speed. THE PROCYON BORED ON THROUGH SPACE AT ONE UNCHANGING GRAVITY OF ACCELERATION IT MAY NOT SEEM AT FIRST GLANCE THAT ONE GRAVITY WOULD RESULT IN A VERY HIGH VELOCITY BUT WHEN IT IS MAINTAINED STEADILY FOR DAYS AND WEEKS AND MONTHS IT BUILDS UP TO A VERY RESPECTABLE SPEED
an imperceptible flow up to one of such violence as to volatilize the craft carrying it. From the facts: One, that in the absence of that field the subspace radio will function normally; and Two, that no subspace-radio messages have ever been received from survivors; the conclusion seems inescapable that the discharge of this unknown field is in fact of extreme violence." "Good God!" Deston exclaimed. "Oh ... _that_ was what you meant by 'fantastic precautions,' back there?" "Precisely." "But what can we _do_ about it?" "I don't know. I ... simply ... do ... not ... know." Adams lost himself in thought for over a minute. "This is all _so_ new ... I know _so_ little ... and am working with such _pitifully_ inadequate instrumentation--However, we have months of time yet, and if I am unable to arrive at a conclusion before arrival--I don't mean a rigorous analysis, of course, but merely a stop-gap, empirical, pragmatic solution--we will simply remain in orbit around that sun until I do."
