I wonder when you think of what happens to the molecules.. of which.. you are.. composed.. constituted.. when you yourself are thus travelling at the speed of sound.. where you may feel that.. that experience.. sends you... sends yourself.. as Harold Bloom might put it.. sends your selfsame self.. to another reality-realm.. and at the end of your sonar at-the-speed-of-sound journey.. you are.. in molecular terms.. in molecular physical terms.. you are.. now.. someone else.. physically.. someone else.. and your previous self travelled.. to another reality-realm.. because.. I mean.. via.. the experience.. of travelling inside a jet that moved.. that travelled.. at the speed of sound.."..
