Piggy is a logical level headed boy who thinks in the manner of an adult rather than a boy. Piggy believes in the real world and the laws of science which govern it. There is no place is such a world for entities which by their very existence would make a mockery of the underlying scientific principles which govern everything. Piggy expressed this conviction by saying, and I quote... "'Cos things wouldn't make sense. Houses an' streets, an -- TV --they wouldn't work."
