Actually, you shouldn't have get worried and might continue your rest. We DO use your heritage, just reworked it a little bit. First, we replaced dashes and dots with zeroes and ones. Then we made an alphabet (just like yours, but with more symbols) and called it ASCII. Then, many non-English-speaking countries began to develop their alphabets, so The Chaos was born. Then The Order of Light created UTF-8, and the order was restored. So, you may rest in peace now.
Some Priests of Light and Knowledge believe that The God's language consists of zeroes and ones as well. --Blashyrkh (talk) 15:16, 9 June 2026 (UTC)


Wow. I am assuming there are flying cars? Maybe, We can live on the moon/mars? Is that true? Samuel F.B. Morse (talk) 15:22, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

On the Imperfect Alacrity of Electromagnetic Forces

Dear Mr. Morse,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to our century. While I am sure that you are still searching for your bearing, I have observed your recent contributions and wish to enrich your understanding with a short note.

In 1905, Mr. Albert Einstein, working from equations developed by Mr. J. C. Maxwell and of course by the legendary Mr. C. F. Gauss, proposed a theory of wikipedia:special relativity for the electromagnetic phenomenon. Mr. Einstein's claim is simple yet profound. He insists that electromagnetism does not privilege any particular frame of reference by which observers construct their laboratories, but that the structure of the laboratory itself and the manner by which its parts interact are the only markers of relative motion. One of the most curious effects of Mr. Einstein's equations, over which we still puzzle today, is that the electromagnetic force is not transmitted instantaneously! Rather, its alacrity is imperfect, quick though it is. We have determined that, in a fraction of a second, the electromagnetic force may oscillate several dozen times across the chasm of the Big Canyon out west in New Mexico, itself over a dozen miles wide; it is faster than any man or beast, but its transit does occupy some modicum of time.

Along a similar line of discussion, you may be fancied that we have demonstrated the underlying nature of light and completed Newton's theory of optics. It happens that light beams are merely visible instances of the electromagnetic force itself! We call this theory wikipedia:quantum mechanics, for it posits that every transmission of electromagnetic force contains a quantum of energy at the least. The truths of this theory are vexing and subtle. However it is a theory which swaggers with evidence and, among all empirical sciences which describe our natural world, it is the best-supported. It is for this reason that we have supplanted telegraph wiring with wikipedia:optical fibre which directly conveys light at its native alacrity across the United States and the rest of the world.

While we are talking of history, I must also point out that we have revised our understanding of past events. While we do credit you, Mr. Morse, with the forceful energy and grand ambition which characterized the spread of telegraph lines around the world like moss trailing footfall, we also have learned the truths of your assistants and employees. In particular I wish to inform you that while your name is still affixed to the concept of wikipedia:Morse code we have become aware that it was originally designed and implemented to a high level of quality by your conspirator wikipedia:Alfred Vail.

It remains difficult, even today, to lay fibre deep throughout the oceans. Our fibre is more durable, but our enemies have increased; in addition to tension which snaps cables, we suffer the vagaries of wild creatures which cannot discern between fibre and food. The undersea fibre also is a potent target for military actions. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Please remember to observe our customs during your visit. For more information, read our esolang:policy and esolang:help pages. Go in peace, ~ Corbin (talk) 16:46, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Heyy! Mr. Einstein, I remember him!!! Samuel F.B. Morse (talk) 16:59, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
That's BRILLIANT, Corbin! --Blashyrkh (talk) 17:47, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
