That seems impossible! In science fiction universes, traveling the galaxy is a snap – just engage the “warp” or “hyperspeed” drive, and off you go, cruising the cosmos at several times the speed of light. But back in reality, we’ve all been taught that the speed of light is a strict traffic law that can’t be broken. This is true, but slightly misleading. Einstein’s theory of special relativity, first published in 1905, asserted that the speed of light is a constant (300 million meters per second), no matter who measures it. The speed of light affects us more than we realize – it helps us understand the difference between cause and effect. Now that we have a taste for Einstein’s theory, we know that baseballs don’t go faster than the speed of light. Right after the Big Bang, the universe had a monstrous growth-spurt called inflation. This ultra-fast growth seems to contradict what we’ve just discussed, but it makes sense if you understand the distinction between expansion and motion.

Review of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs - RPGnet RPG Game Index Chances are you've never heard of the Xenozoic, that as-yet-to-come geologic era when every creature that ever existed once again roams the Earth, and when what's left of mankind cruises the countryside in retrofitted 1940s and '50s Cadillacs. But if it sounds familiar, that's because it's the setting of a comic book series you might have heard of: Cadillacs & Dinosaurs. Technically, "Cadillacs & Dinosaurs" (abbreviated hereafter as "C&D") is the nickname for a short-lived comics series titled "Xenozoic Tales." The series may have only lasted 14 issues and ended mid-story, but it enjoyed a surprising amount of marketing success for an alternative comic. Then, of course, there was "C&D: The Roleplaying Game," written by none other than Frank Chadwick of "Space: 1889" fame. C&D is a 144-page, magazine-sized paperback published in 1990. Setting C&D is set 450 years in the future after a planet-wide disaster destroyed most of civilization. There also is plenty of political intrigue. Content
