Roadside Picnic
““I suppose that your first serious discovery, Dr. Pilman, should be considered what is now called the Pilman Radiant?”
“I don’t think so. The Pilman Radiant wasn’t the first, nor was it serious, nor was it really a discovery. And it wasn’t completely mine, either.”
“Surely you’re joking, doctor. The Pilman Radiant is a concept known to every schoolchild.”
“That doesn’t surprise me. According to some sources, the Pilman Radiant was discovered by a schoolboy. Unfortunately, I don’t re...member his name. Look it up in Stetson’s History of the Visitation – it’s described in full detail there. His version is that the radiant was discovered by a schoolboy, that a college student published the coordinates, but that for some unknown reason it was named after me.”
“Yes, many amazing things can happen with a discovery. Would you mind explaining it to our listeners, Dr.MoreLess
