This is reinforced by the uncanny fact found by these investigations that a fl hole's mass is proportional to the mass of the stellar environment it inhabits.

 The Pearsall Saga
Then, after the war's over, the Beetle serves as the official transport of something like the Canadian Mounted Police, which patrols all the wildlands beyond the centers of civilized society, heroically helping rescue citizens from disasters and accidents, as well as defending law abiding citizens against pirates and other outlaws in their jurisdiction.
The Pearsalls are successfully able to swing into a wide off center orbit of the asteroid before it reaches maximum velocity emerging from the system, via a combination of the asteroid's own gravity and sustained maximum thrust from virtually every propulsive system on both Rovers simultaneously.
The Pearsall's goal is the galactic core, and any conceivable change to Grit's present course or speed now would be detrimental to reaching that goal.

The solar system is known to orbit around the galactic center with a period of about two hundred million years and an average speed of about 230 km/sec.
While crossing a galactic arm or the galactic plane, there is a significant probability to pass through or very near to a molecular cloud.
Moreover the periodicity inherent in the crossing of the galactic arms and of the galactic plane becomes reflected in periodicities (cycles of 200, 60, 30 million years) of events in the inner solar system.

Posted by Stephan Kinsella at March 24, 2004 09:55 PM Some of the best fiction I've read in some time, maybe ever, definitely just about the best sci-fi I've ever read: The Golden Age trilogy, by John C. Wright.
If you liked Atlas Shrugged and like hard sci-fi (e.g., fans of Gregory Benford's Galactic Center saga; Dan Simmons' Hyperion novels; Orson Scott Card's Ender books; and Vernor Vinge's Fire Upon The Deep), you'll like this.
It's sci-fi by an obvious libertarian and proponent of individualism and free-market, if not Austrian, economics (some of the mini-speeches about the necessity of money even in an advanced society a million years down the road, are very impressive), but it's not "libertarian sci-fi" of the jokey, preachy, or humorless (no offense, Ayn Rand) type.
