I think there were a few SF books that incorporated this. 
I'm actually researching this to find out more...
If the oort cloud IS mostly comets then it might help understand where our liquid water came from (and maybe the oortwhales too.  ). |
I'd be interested in your research. My reading used to be mostly SF, and so I wonder if I'm guilty of subconscious plagiarism (the whale in HHGttG doesn't count, because that is more conscious allusion
). I know I once wrote a poem about a woman's stillborn in a hospital and, although based on a newspaper headline, someone immediately picked up that it was similar to one of Live's songs from
Throwing Copper. But that total self-doubt over any of my creations (I think everything I do is derivative, which puts a wall in front of me) is for another time and place. But please do tell if you find stuff, Kenny, as I'll laugh my head off if I've read them.
I hope you don't mind me bringing the oortwhales up. I'm fascinated by such environments and sometimes place myself or other things or beings amongst them to try give myself an imaginary analogy to properly conceive of their physics, meteorology, et cetera (remember Carl Sagan's hypotheses of life on
Cosmos?).
