Everything goes, everything is lost, eventually. But if something is good, it doesn't matter what happens. The ending is still happy.
Geoff RymanEverything move...you wonder how it all knows where to go. Einstein wondered how birds knew where to migrate to. He thought they might follow lines of light in the sky. He saw everything as lines of light. That's how he was built. So we don't know how he moved, either. Any more than the birds.
