Beau – Let’s talk about explaining Earth to aliens…. (C.S. Lewis did something like this in the first volumne of his “Space Trilogy” – and he [deliberately] wrote himself into a corner where his hero had to fail to translate a concept because it flat made no sense. There’s a pdf here of the whole book – the conversation begins at the bottom of page 119 of the pdf [numbered 115 in the text] and the untranslateable concept appears at the bottom of the following page. The conversation ends near the top of pdf page 122 [118] – not terribly long, but a bit long to quote. Though you aay have to suspend disbelief a bit, it’s very reavealing as to some things we think we know but really haven’t a clue.)
