Saying something is 'too bad' is easy. You say you disapprove, which makes you a nice person, and then you can go about your business and not be interested anymore. It's a lot worse than 'too bad.' It's against everything decent and natural.

Circulation ceases first at the outer edges. It will take a while yet for the decay to reach the heart. That is, the apparent, obvious-to-all decay, as distinct from the inner decay that is an old story of some fifteen centuries.' 'And so this Hari Seldon foresaw a Galaxy of uniform barbarism,' said Riose, good-humouredly. 'And what then, eh?' 'So he established two foundations at the extreme opposing ends of the Galaxy – Foundations of the best, and the youngest, and the strongest, there to breed, grow, and develop. The worlds on which they were placed were chosen carefully; as were the times and the surroundings. All was arranged in such a way that the future as foreseen by the unalterable mathematics of psycho-history would involve their early isolation from the main body of Imperial civilization and their gradual growth into the germs of the Second Galactic Empire – cutting an inevitable barbarian interregnum from thirty thousand years to scarcely a single thousand.

El salto es exactamente lo que su nombre indica. En la misma estructura del espacio tiempo es imposible viajar más rápidamente que la luz. Es una ley natural que fue descubierta quizá por uno de los antiguos, el tradicional Einstein, a quien se atribuyen demasiadas cosas. Y, como es natural, incluso a la velocidad de la luz se tardarían años, de tiempo en reposo, en llegar a las estrellas. Por ello salimos de la estructura del espacio tiempo para penetrar en el poco conocido dominio del hiperespacio, donde distancia y tiempo carecen de sentido. Es algo así como atravesar un delgado istmo para pasar de un océano a otro, en lugar de permanecer en el mar y rodear un continente para recorrer la misma distancia. Naturalmente, se requiere una gran cantidad de energía para entrar en este "espacio dentro del espacio", como algunos lo llaman, así como muchos y complicados cálculos para asegurar nuevamente la entrada en el espacio-tiempo, en el punto adecuado. El resultado del consumo de tal energía e inteligencia hace posible atravesar distancias inmensas en un tiempo cero. Sólo gracias al salto son posibles los viajes interestelares.

The fact of the matter is that young men lack skill and experience and are very likely to approach a girl as though she were a sack of wheat. It is the old man — suave, debonair, maturely charming — who knows exactly what to do and how to do it, and is therefore better at it.
