[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7610684, member: 177"] Just re-read that story to check. First, it isn't, "they realize." It is Grey Mouser pontificating that the world is a bubble, with Fafhr basically telling him he's full of it and making things up. And it isn't that the stars are cities, and the waterspouts support planets. Mouser says that they are in a bubble - mostly ocean with the continents they know adrift on the inside of it. When Fafhrd asks then why they, far at sea, cannot see the stars in the water, Mouser says that you can only see the stars looking down the centers of the waterspouts from above. He has to do similar things to explain how the sun and the moon are not visible. Mouser has to go so far as to posit the existence of two different kinds of light to explain why they can't see some things. It is all very... stretched, to make it work out. The story contains no evidence that Mouser is correct that I can find. It is all merely philosophy they talk over, while avoiding death and such. Like they do. And, if anyone on Nehwon is an unreliable source of information... it is Grey Mouser. ;) [/QUOTE]
