Peter Hamilton's nights dawn trilogy, and his commonwealth saga. Both really good space opera, with varied characters and plot lines.

Yeah but, I'm talking about this particular case, not making a mathematical rule. You have to move away from the coast, and then cannot turn, so you have to head towards Africa. You can't set off toward Australia. Although I hadn't considered that you can just move the starting point. So, there's that.

India. You would have to set off somewhat perpendicular to the Indian coastline to be perfectly straight.

We don't have to be special though. We can only exist at certain points in space time, under certain conditions. Those conditions are currently met, therfore we can exist, regardless of the infinite time/space conditions where we can't.
