How is it that when Sam leaps into a leapee who is shorter/smaller than he is, people around him don notice a difference in size?
I belive it is a question of topology. I’m not very good at it, but consider the following argument. The QL maps everything from a different time into a frame of reference relative to Sam. (And vice versa for the host.) Sam doesn’t see what really happens, but rather what happens relative to his host. [Doug van der Veen] It’s all a matter of relativity. Consider a spaceship 10 meters long. Send it off at 99.4% of the speed of light and it will seem to be only 1 meter long to anyone still on earth, while still seeming like 10 to those on board. Gravity can do the same sort of thing; put an object deep into a gravity well and it will seem shorter. The point is the ship is in a different ‘reference frame’ than the earth, and the object in the well is in a different frame then the observer floating outside it, and things like length (also duration) are not the same across reference frames. [Larne Pekowsky] So here’s the theory: when Sam leaps his whole body leaps (explaining things like “B
