	Ansible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term ansible is used in science fiction literature to describe a hypothetical faster-than-light communication device.
		Another theory posits that she derived the word from an anagram of the word "lesbian" (which is in keeping with the libertarian tones in her writing).
		Ansible is also a science fiction fanzine published by Dave Langford, named after the faster-than-light communicator.

	About Us: Ansible defined
		Although one ansible must be fixed upon a planet of a certain minimum mass, other units are portable.
		The ansible operates according to the Constant of Simultaneity, which is in some ways analogous to gravity (hence the "minimum mass" requirement).

	BBC - h2g2 - Ansible - a Science Fiction Newsletter
		Ansible is a free UK-based monthly Science Fiction and Fantasy newsletter that is read by fans and professionals alike.
		Ansible began life in August 1979 and was first seen at the world SF convention, which that year was named Seacon '79 and was held in Brighton.
		Especially as the next issue would, if it was to retain any sense of journalistic integrity, have to mention his spat with the scientologists, and could, in doing so, get him into even more trouble.

		Ansible- Ansible is a MOO, a text-based game, based on the book Ender's Game by Orsen Scott Card.
		Ansible Characters- This is a site made by me because at one time this place was too small for all the things I wanted and I was too cheap to buy a domain.
		It lists all my characters from Ansible, from the old ones I don't use, (except an NPC named Sage whom I have lost all the info on.) the current ones I do, and unPCs and NPCs that I've written.

	Trufen.net \| Stanek lawyer says Langford acted 'with malice'
		Confirmed first by Dave Langford himself, naturally, in the The Runcible Ansible: Fantasy writer Robert Stanek is the American who threatened to sue Glasgow University over storage of the Langford-edited Ansible.
		The threat of litigation initially led the university to seal off its entire archive of the multiple-Hugo-winning monthly newszine; access to all issues but #181 was later restored.
		The similarities suggested to Langford that the same writer was posting under different false names, and he implied that a sly marketing campaign might have been underway in which Stanek's writing was recommended in the course of a review of a better-known author's work.

	SF Citations for OED
		Noting the coordinates at which the ansible sender was set, he changed them to the coordinates of the League HILF Survey Base for Galactic Area 8, at Kerguelen, on the planet New South Georgia—the only coordinates he knew without reference to a handbook.
		It meant that even though the starships of today's battles were launched a hundred years ago, the commanders of the starships were men of today, who used the ansible to send messages to the computers and the few men on each ship.
		A subversive friend of Ender's..was taking care of all that for her—managing the tricky business of translating an ansible message from a ship going at near-lightspeed to a message readable by a planetbound ansible for which time was passing more than five hundred times faster.

	The Ansible
		A central technology in the book is the Ansible which is a device that allows instant communication between two points across galactic distances.
		This device is not subject to Einstein's theory of relativity, and so helps to avoid some of the suspension of disbelief that can ruin a good sci-fi novel.
		In later books in the Ender's Game series the Ansible evolves into more of a universal communication network than a point-to-point technology.

	Halfbakery: Ansible
		The ansible is a piece of technology that makes FTL transmission of information possible.

	Weird Words: Ansible
		This word has never broken out of the science-fiction linguistic ghetto in which it was created, though in that field it’s one of the better-known terms.
		It was invented by Ursula K Le Guin in her novel Rocannon’s World, of 1966: “You remember the ansible, the machine I showed you in the ship, which can speak instantly to other worlds, with no loss of years—it was that that they were after, I expect”.
		The same name and concept turns up in several of her books, for example in The Left Hand of Darkness of 1969: “He said in his shrill harsh voice, ‘What’s that?’—pointing to the ansible.

		See The Runcible Ansible 189, and marvel at the spinelessness of the Glasgow administrators who were panicked by vague "legal" menaces not apparently written by an actual lawyer ("malice of forethought", indeed) and sent from the anonymity of a Hotmail address.
		I was cheered to receive one of the relaunched N3F sf achievement awards ("Neffies") for Ansible, but in the last-minute hell of putting together the June issue I clean forgot to mention this.
		Let me assure fans of Thog's Masterclass (see Ansible) that my Live Thog Presentation on Friday evening is pretty much the same as delivered at past British and US cons (and the 1999 Australian worldcon), though the selection of appalling quotes has been slightly updated again.

		Only for a moment, when he had located the control room and found the ansible and sat down before it, did he permit his mind-sense to drift over to the ship that sat east of this one.

	Langford Home Page (Pardon?)
		A couple of small corrections to the email and first-run print editions: the URL of The Infinite Matrix was misprinted as www.theinfinitematrix.net rather than www.infinitematrix.net, and this non-HTML text gave only the front page at www.balaams-ass.com (an innocuous piano-tuner site) without the deep link to its buried C.S.
