learned all sorts

IT ALL BOILED DOWN TO A MATTER OF language.
You nike high heels can only contemplate what your mind is able to describe, she thought.
The system of organized Galactic dialects had helped oxy-races communicate with minimal misunderstanding for two billion years--a primly logical structure of semantics, syntax, grammar, and meaning. But now she figured it had a double purpose--to obscure. A sophisticated culture of technically advanced and deeply intelligent beings was UGG Boots Clearance channeled away from pondering certain topics. Certain possibilities.
This could be the real reason wolfling races wind up being annihilated, she thought. They may more readily look past the blind spots. See what mustn't be seen.
That cannot be allowed.
Through a crystal pane, Sara glanced at swarms of gigantic, needle-shaped habitats orbiting a dense relic star at furious UGG Boots Clearance speed. Lined up along the radial path followed by escaping rays of light, their inner points seemed almost to brush the intensely bright surface. Anyone living down there--perched deep within the white dwarfs steep gravitational well--would experience profound tidal forces, tugging and stretching every living cell.
Of course, that was the whole point of living here. Unlike the Fractal UGG Boots Clearance World, mere hydrogen metal could not survive the glare or tortuous strain of this place. Hannes Suessi had tried to explain what kinds of field reinforced materials might withstand such forces, but Sara's mind only reeled at his cascade of obscure terms. The technology, far beyond her barbarian education, seemed altogether godlike.
Ah, but math... that was another story. UGG Boots Clearance Even back home, with just pencil and paper as her only tools, she had learned all sorts of clever shortcuts to describe the countless ways that space might fold, flex, or tear--analytical methods that lay outside the normal Galactic tradition.
Now, with some of Streaker's onboard wizard machines to assist her, Sara found herself performing extravagant incantations. By word Jordan Heels and gesture, she caused glorious charts and graphs to appear in midair. Tensors cleaved before her eyes. Tarski transforms and Takebayashi functions dealt handily with transfinite integrals at her merest whim, solving problems that no mere numerical processor could calculate by brute force alone.
