Species

There are 3 recognized species in this genus:

gollark: Your monitor and TV might use different panel technology.
gollark: No. Via confusing relativity things, light still goes at the same speed relative to you on the ship. You could happily walk around even closer to light speed, and to outside observers you'd just seem to get closer to light speed but never actually reach it. Something like that.
gollark: Anyway, this doesn't seem to... explain anything usefully? It seems like a retroactive justification for *why* stuff is the way it is, but in a way which doesn't seem amenable to making useful predictions, and is also extremely vague.
gollark: Also, screenshots exist. Please use them.
gollark: Never mind, I found the "cosmicwatch" thing online.
