this of course is within the context of the story,
where there is really a source of power puissant enough
to support a broadcast.
If that's anything like a radio
broadcast, it would mean all kinds of power would be
rampantly floating around, hundreds of times what was
actually caught and used, right?
Nobody's found a source like that one since Tesla.
And we could really use one...
It would have to be something as potent as the
power source of the Q Weapon, which Kit and Umeki
seem to link up with the momentum of Earth through space...
hang a fan behind the world from a skyhook
and let the Aether spin it...
