A Few Details In The Kith History

In a Kith interstellar spaceship, instruments process photons captured in the instants between zero-zero jumps, which therefore sound like the quantum jumps of the hyperdrive in Poul Anderson's Technic History.

Kenri mentions rogue planets, which play big roles in the Technic History.

Nivala uses the phrase "kinship with the stars," which is an Anderson title. See here.

Kenri studies Murinn's General Cosmology. Since Olivares and others formulated a unified physics, there have been empirical discoveries but no theoretical advances. Terrestrials argue that the universe is finite and that all phenomena are theoretically deducible from the Grand Equation although complexity might make the deduction unfeasible. Thus, they claim to have a Theory of Everything (see Science And Creation). Kith, like Manse Everard, know from experience that the cosmos does not conform to human comprehension.
