Looks like Jyrras needs to take a lesson from Bugs Bunny... or Tinkerbell.

Ooh, I get it. The apple must be a reference to Newton's apple.
What's with the mini-fae? Do they believe themselves to be small? Or are they something else altogether?
A place where conventional science has no meaning?
Me and Jyrras: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! 'A' 'A' 'A' 'A' 'A' 'A' 'A' 'A'
strange I would have assumed knowing the laws of physics jyrras would have already figured out "the Secret" to reality is that it is what you make it.
EDIT: **holds Gratitude rock** My Preciouuuuus!
I noticed that Mab's tail seems to be tied up at three different places. Guess it's a temporary solution to her fluffy tail. I can imagine any trip I'd have in the Fae world would be chaos. *Imaginative and Happy! Oh, hi physics-ARGH! AAAH! AAAH! ...Okay. Happy again. Hi, concept of vacuum vs air! Erk, choking!* etc
Just one week left to go before this month is gone, Amber. Hang in there. :mowmeep

I can think of two possible meanings:
A reference to Tinkerbell who was certainly small.
A reference to the religious debate on the number of angels that could dance on the head of a pin. (I believe that the final consensus was as many as wish to.)
As a comparison, it will be interesting to see how Lorenda does.
Anyone out there remember the movie Forbidden Planet where the members of an ancient civilization had built a machine that materialized thoughts. Unfortunately, the "monsters of the id" materialized and wiped out everybody on the planet.
...and Mab gets what may be the first ding against her personality ever.
Not that that's exactly a bad thing.

Hey, you're right! I didn't notice that until now! Heh heh, it proves that while the Fae may be the most happy-go-lucky and carefree race in all Furrae, for them, the law is the LAW. :giggle

If you can do anything you believe in.
Why hasn't some fae believed he could kill all the other fae permanently.
LOGICAL CONSISTENCY FAILING
Knowing the Fae he'll land on a big black X on some patch of out of the blue ground.
As to the earlier comment about the tiny Fae. We've already seen that they can change their size at will. Remember when Nutmeg first came out of disguise, she shrank herself down to Jyrass' size proclaiming "Glee! Now we're the same size! Hug time now!" before realizing that she was still 'pointy'.
Also Whitemage, they probably haven't done that because there's probably a LAW against killing other Fae.

Probably because the other fae believed that he can't kill anything, which would probably cause a paradox and destroy the universe again. If that did happen it'd explain their care-free attitude a little bit. :3
Apparently Jyrras has never read an X-Men comic or seen Magneto. :P
Bah! Hasn't Jyrras ever heard of the Copenhagen interpretation?? The fae simply apply form of quantum-scale waveform collapse on a macro scale!
Either that... or maybe Clarke's Law will save him.

The apples being "tasty" is a metaphorical nod to the good science can do, just as they would be if it'd been a reference to Newton's Apple.

Depending on whether there is a large planet-sized mass below Jyrras, I'd probably willingly fall to my death in such a world. Or, at least, spend eons trying to figure out what real scientific laws exist in the Fae realm.

Oh Jyrras, don't let gravity get you down.
That horrible pun out of the way, I hope Jyrras knows, and remembers soon, that gravity don't necessarily pulls things DOWN. Gravity pulls things TOGETHER. When you spend all you time on top of a very big rock (also known as a "planet") the difference doesn't matter, but when you are in a realm with lots of small rocks, the difference is very important.
There is no down.
Hmm, a place where whatever you believe becomes reality?
How ST-TNG-ish! This means the Traveller was a Fae! :U
*wonders how many will recall that episode* ;)
My considered opinion on this is, they're not falling down because Mab is holding them up with magic.
Sheesh. Surely Jyrras can take that, and believe in Mab? ;-]
I'll still take the cold hand of science over mystical powers any day of the week.
You'd think that would be something you tell a visitor to the fae kingdom way ahead of time, that said sounds like a fun place to visit.

Yes. In the first one with him, he had a lil problem and ended up taking the ship to a strantge place where they're (their... I fail.. :< ) every thought could become physically real.

The second book (titled "Speaker For the Dead") was mostly about the Pequeninos (those pig-like aliens). I suggest you go to your local library and find that book if you want to complete the story.
I actually liked the second book, but the rest were just "???".
'Speaker for the Dead.' Yeah that was the name, it was in the series list. Though I've never read it, I was able to piece together some of what happened from reading the other books, though, yes, I probably should run down to a local library and find it so I can complete it.
And I really liked 'Xenocide' and 'Children Of The Mind'. They certainly weren't ??? for me.
I don't think I can remember a single thing that happened in Children of the Mind.
Ahh, gravity. My archenemy. Is anyone else thinking Matrix, here?

Nothing happened. It was just a set up for the fifth book, which he hasn't finished writing yet.
*cough*
(I exaggerate, but not by much...)
I've never read or heard of these books you guys are talking about. Considering the mixed reactions I'm seeing, should I even bother?
The first ones pretty seminal, but the rest aren't terribly necessary.
The first book is call 'Ender's Game'. And to me, the rest are all very good to, and I would personally reccomend NOT skipping over them. Yes, you should bother, they are classics.
Here is the order:
1#Ender's Game
2#Speaker For The Dead
3#Xenocide
4#Children Of The Mind
The are two other books that arn't in the actual series, but are in the same universe and are canon. Those two, however, I never got into. They are:
Ender's Shadow
Shadow Of The Hedgemon
And again, the answer is yes, you should bother with the first four. Read the last two only if you are realy interested.
Luckily for us - Gravity is not a law.
It's a Theory. (http://www.bringyou.to/apologetics/p67.htm) :mwaha
I just had some random thoughts.
With regard to the question as to why some fae hadn't started believing that it could kill other fae permanently. -- Perhaps some previous king or queen of the fae had passed a law against it.
Actually, what Jyrras needs to do is watch the 1978 Superman movie with Christoper Reeves and Gene Hackman. Remember the advertisements said that after watching this movie "You'll believe a man can fly."

Probably because fae souls and therefore true birth and death aren't part of the part of reality that you can adjust through belief.
Either that, or all fae have an unshakeable belief in their inability to have children without recycling a soul and in their own (and each others') immortality.

Mab is probably a little peeved that she had to "modify" her tail to conform to fae law so she could re-enter the kingdom.

Awww, at least someone noticed it. :3
But I do have to wonder why Jyrras didn't just apply a little empirical methodology or something. After all, those platforms were floating in midair -- surely, if physics applied (which he apparently beleives it to be) there must be some force supporting them. So why wouldn't it support him as well?
Because he didn't believe that the platforms were supported by any force. Mostly because they didn't even look solid.

Uhm, I mentioned on the previous page, and the hints in this text should be enough. There was only one episode in which the Traveller took them to the cloudy space place where their thoughts became real.

Well... actually, I was talking about her shouting at Jyrras. She looks mad.
I have a question.
I know Jy-Jy is always prepared for every eventuality like gadgets and stuff I know in this case he didn't have a gadget in case he was plummetting in the Fae kindom like a minture rocket pack and such to use to escape certain doom.
And also is Jyrass suppose to know the Fae Kingdom he is a scientest for pete's sake and study up on it from Mabs *Oh wait this is Mabs here* I could see Jyrass head exploded with the answer from Mabs about the Fae kingdom.
It's his job to know these things. I feel he look like a total boob if I'm wrong then tell me I'm wrong.

Jyrass's job is to look like a total boob. :B When he prepares for adventures, his gadgets never work anyway, and he didn't have a chance to even prepare this time -- Mab just drafted him.
More like she hijacked his nature walk.

Omg, they ARE gone!
Yeah. Maybe she believed they were gone. o.0
Jyrras didn't believe in them.
Man, Jyrra's not believing in Mab's glowy antennae things ruins everythiiiing. D:<
Hm, even though no one may care anymore, I think i just figured out why, say, if a Fae tried to believe it could actually soul-kill all other Fae, it wouldn't work. Mab said, "What you believe becomes what you can do", or, what you believe affects only you. That's why when Jyrras belived in gravity, it only affected him.
Unfortunately, any furthur speculation into the exact mechanics of the Fae realm by me would probably create a bunch of logic-magic paradoxes and blink me out of existance entirely :<
