COMMENT, AND A QUESTION

Sirs.

I began reading Amazing Stories two months ago, but I liked them so much I bought back issues to December, 1938. I want stories of Adam Link.

I have a question on gravitation. How is it that your authors say a man on Saturn or Jupiter would hardly be able to move, when on Earth a fly (comparatively as small as a man on Jupiter) can move around with ease?

Adam Link is coming soon. A fly is many times stronger than a man, in proportion to its mass. If a fly were as large as a man, it could pull a locomotive with ease. That same fly, on Jupiter, would be as handicapped as a man. So it is not a matter of gravitation at all, but of relative strength. Glad you like our magazine.—Ed.
