OK, most of us with at least a basic science education knows by now that sound absolutley cannot travel thru space. Soo...How could the following happen? In "Godfellas", Fry is able to reach Bender in the vast reaches of space via an ultra-powerful microphone system. And no posts regarding it was a miracle, because Fry was able to (repeatedly)reach someone else, when they replied "No!Stop asking us!"

Originally posted by cellery: Perhaps the sound waves were converted to radio waves, which could travel through space. The red ring effect used to represent Fry's transmission looked similar to the radio wave transmission of "Single Female Lawyer" to Omicron Persei 8 seen in "When Aliens Attack". That's my theory.
Well duh. It's a microwave telescope, it doesn't transmit soundwaves. My question is, wouldn't they have a slightly more sophisticated method in a thousand years than a plain old radio telescope?

Of course they had to have been somewhat close because nothing can go faster then the spead of light.

Of course not, that's why scientists increased the speed of light in 2XXX

But how come in 'Parasites Lost' they do move when in their netsuits.

Originally posted by RedHotLlama: But how come in 'Parasites Lost' they do move when in their netsuits. Your question makes Morbo's brain hot, puny human mammal! Morbo will destroy you! While the helmet and gloves directly simulate the actions of the upper human body, the boots are used in coordination with hand-signals to simulate lower body action differently, much like the "gas" and "brake" pedals on your puny human automobile, or microwave oven. If you wish to "fly," you must assume the puny-human-Superman flying pose while taking care that your weak human body does not topple forward, breaking your weak human nose on the back of your weak human chair. To "kick your friend in the throat," you must first type Alt+G on your glove-keys to ground yourself or you will burrow deep into the cyberearth. To walk, simply type Ctrl+Alt+W and point your easily-crushed human toes in the direction you wish to walk. This is why the doomed soft creature known as "Fry" does not spend twenty hours each day on the Internet; modern netsuits are too much like exercise, and if he got any, his physique might attract the attention of the infinitely-superior Morbo, and I would be forced to crush his knees!! Mwahahahahahahahaha!!
