1\ A thought experiment: The year is 2277. You're the bartender at a spaceport in a faraway Earth colony on a planet orbiting α-Centauri: a distance of ~4 light years. Guy walks into your bar, slams down a credit chit, and asks for a drink. How do you know his money is any good?

Man, this Jason guy is awesome. This post fleshes out the ideas I was groping towards yesterday. I love the attempt to figure out advertising on interstellar timescales. Of course we would attempt to do that! I also think insurance is interesting when simultaneity is relative.
