“Mum… if we took walkie talkies to Narnia, would they work straight away or would people have to build stuff to make them work?”
“Erm… i’ll find out and get back to you.”
Anyone?

Yes, Narnia, very real-life 😉
Discussed it with eldest, who’s rather a Narnia fan (not to mention a walkie-talkie fan). He reckons that there’s nothing in the books that suggests that radio waves and the like wouldn’t function in Narnia just as they do here, so walkie-talkies would work. Mobile phones, however wouldn’t, because they need cellular masts to communicate. Okay? 🙂
Hogwarts, of course, would be a different story – if you see what I mean!
but doesn’t time go loads slower in Narnia? How would that work?
Seeing as they can see ok, so the transmission/speed of light isn’t affected, and seeing as radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, just as light is, I imagine thye woud work ok
Narnia doesn’t exist though.
I guess Nic that you could do the walkie talkies Narnia to Narnia, but not Narnia to home.
Ecellent, knew i could rely on you!
I’d just say that Narnia doesn’t exist! Can’t be doing with what if’s if it is impossible. I’m miserable obviously.
Well, the point was that they wanted to know if walkie talkies needed infrastructure, rather than whether imaginary lands existed.
I don’t think my children are actually confused about imaginary lands. They aren’t completely batty!
Now this is what I love about HE. Can you imagine the response that a class load of kids would have done to that question and in fact some teachers. At home any question is never too silly and there is always education to be gleaned from them.
ooh!
Well Buzz think Madagascar is EXACTLY like the film!
rofl!!!!!!
Never mind walkie talkies. Would Sat Nav work?
I know it is an imaginary land, but does it have an imaginary satellite?
Tim…. i THINK you’ve missed the point!!!!!!!!!!! 😉
