11:32.32 | OluapWorker | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Tales_of_Champions#Xacutus:_The_Final_Preparations I wrote a thing |
11:34.09 | Xho | I saw |
11:34.35 | Xho | " And so, the infernal march of the Vulcanus Horde began as Xacutus created a bridge from Akriarion Island to Abyssus' southern gates, a maddened grin locked on the pyromancer's face as he prepared for the coming war." dat some long bridge |
11:35.11 | OluapWorker | Yep |
11:35.59 | OluapWorker | I imagine he took him at least 2 months to arrive to the main continent |
11:36.13 | OluapWorker | 2 months of non-stop marching |
11:36.33 | Xho | Kalarah just looks out at the bridge going "hurry da fuq up" |
11:39.47 | Hachiman | I can imagine a lot of orcs dying from exhaustion |
11:41.05 | Hachiman | That or Xacutus is at the back of his army and he's just yelling at the guys in front "ARE WE THERE YET" |
11:41.38 | OluapWorker | Xacutus was at the front |
11:41.45 | OluapWorker | He was making the bridge as they marched |
11:41.54 | Hachiman | rite |
11:42.33 | Hachiman | Spending two months marching nonstop with Xacutus must be bad for the psyche |
11:42.45 | OluapWorker | It`s more than certain that some forces died on the way, either from exhaustion or from falling into the seas, but Xacutus can just make more of most of his forces |
11:43.50 | OluapWorker | Still there is definitely a Vulcanus base in the main continent now. I`m just not sure where |
11:47.12 | OluapWorker | I do want to use Xacutus more, he`s a fun character to write about |
11:51.05 | Xho | Somewhere in Abyssus I guess |
11:51.54 | OluapWorker | Considering Xacutus and Kalarah have a hate-hate relationship, probably outside of Abyssus |
11:52.11 | ImpyDroid | I now imagine Xacutus singing Let It Go as he creates bridges of magma |
11:54.36 | OluapWorker | Let It Go |
11:54.38 | OluapWorker | I`m not familiar |

11:56.45 | Hachiman | I have come to hate the fanbase of the film even more |
11:56.59 | Xho | It is a kids film |

13:15.29 | Hachiman | Oh wow |
13:16.30 | Hachiman | So over 200,000 people have applied for the Mars One mission - which is a project that determines to establish the first colony on the Martian surface - and the names of the 100 people selected have been revealed to the public |
13:18.45 | Hachiman | Looks like we may be able to see Martian colonialism in our lifetimes |
13:19.18 | Xho | Sounds funny but interesting |
13:19.29 | OluapWorker | I have my doubts |
13:20.02 | Hachiman | inb4 black hole forms between Earth and Mars |
13:20.45 | Xho | I dunno how long it would take for spacecraft at this current point in time to travel 140 million miles |
13:21.17 | Hachiman | Well we have put stuff on Mars before |
13:21.37 | OluapWorker | It takes 6 months to get to Mars |
13:21.51 | OluapWorker | Going there and returning to Earth takes a year |
13:21.53 | Xho | fuk dat shit |
13:22.10 | Hachiman | The Mars One candidates are not intended to return to Earth however |
13:22.18 | Hachiman | They are to stay on Mars to fulfill their role there |
13:22.33 | OluapWorker | We`re not gonna see any Mars colonization when we can`t even get back on the Moon which`s right next door |
13:22.54 | Xho | If Earth was shortened down to 100 pixels wide, the distance between Earth and Mars would be 428,000 pixels |
13:24.02 | Xho | In other words, if Earth was 2 cm wide the relative distance to Mars would be 113 metres |
13:24.31 | Hachiman | It is not that we cannot go back to the Moon, I believe the case is that the nations that are more prepared for lunar travel are not interested in it as of recent |
13:24.40 | Hachiman | We more than certainly have the technology for it |
13:24.45 | Xho | I don't think there's much to do on the Moon |

14:20.05 | OluapWorker | no one gives a shi |
14:20.08 | Hachiman | Pretty fascinating story |
14:22.02 | Hachiman | It involves a brotherhood of Tibetan monks hiring a couple of American engineers to install a Mark V. Automatic Sequence Computer to generate and compile letter calculations rather than numeric ones in an attempt to list all the possible names of God - a task that the monks have been attempting for 300 years and thought it would take 15,000 years to conclude |
14:22.15 | Hachiman | As in, install it into their monastery |
14:23.40 | Hachiman | They hired and paid for the Mark V because it could effectively reduce a task that would otherwise require 15,000 years to accomplish to around three months |
14:28.31 | Hachiman | The monks, rather than using any standard alphabet to calculate these names, devised an alphabet of their own and believed that God's name contains no more than 9 characters with no more than 3 repeating letters in a single name; they desired to compile the list of nine billion names since they believed that it was a product of universal purpose |

15:34.57 | Xho | Santorakh - goddamn mortals explore my shitty warr |
15:35.05 | Wormy_ | I like how it presents a problem to standard theories |
15:41.52 | Xho | So from what I've gathered |
15:42.52 | Xho | If the Solar System (to the Oort Cloud) was scaled down to 2 cm the Hercules Corona Borealis Great Wall would span from London to Istanbul |
15:43.04 | Xho | roughly |
15:43.10 | Xho | No actually lemme redo that |
15:44.01 | Hachiman | Yeah you are far off |
15:44.28 | Xho | More like 80 miles than 1650 miles |
15:45.05 | Xho | For some reason today is a mental impairment day |
15:45.10 | OluapWorker | u cant grasp the size of da wall |
15:46.00 | Xho | Or is it 3,074 miles |
15:46.06 | Xho | That sounds more like it |
15:46.41 | Hachiman | When one observes stuff such as this, it becomes practically impossible to reliably claim that intelligent life, let alone extraterrestrial life itself, does not exist other than ourselves in our universe |
15:47.42 | Wormy_ | Believe it or not, some honest physicists have estimated the probability of a universe of our age only having one, based on probability and the multiverse. |
15:47.43 | Xho | 3,074 miles is roughly from London to Shiraz in Iran |
15:47.56 | Wormy_ | Not sure I agree myself |
15:48.22 | Hachiman | I feel the scale is too great |
15:48.27 | Xho | Or even more roughly London to Lagos in Nigeria |
15:48.54 | Xho | Well the Oort Cloud is 1.87 light years, the Wall is 10 billion |
15:49.34 | Xho | I can't work this out tbh |
15:50.31 | Hachiman | There is a near-infinite number of galaxies with an even greater number of stars, I cannot see how the disregard for extraterrestrial life could be invalidated so easily |
15:50.39 | OluapWorker | It`s difficult to grasp the sheer size of 10 billion light years |
15:50.41 | Hachiman | *validated |
15:50.50 | Xho | It's not 1 moth though |
15:50.56 | OluapWorker | hur |
15:51.01 | Ghel | If the solar system is 1.87 cm, then the Wall is 10 billion cm. So if there are about 1600 m = 160 000 cm in one mile, then the wall is |
15:51.07 | Ghel | ~10000000000/160000 |
15:51.07 | infobot | 62500 |
15:51.11 | Ghel | miles long. |
15:51.28 | Xho | I was definitely overthinking it |
15:51.37 | OluapWorker | ew maths |
15:52.20 | Xho | So basically if the solar system was 1.87 cm then the Wall wraps around Earth two and a half times |
15:52.58 | Ghel | Yes. And a single Milky Way-sized galaxy is about a kilometre in size. |
15:53.28 | Ghel | diameter* |
15:54.51 | Wormy_ | I have a very controvertial opinion that life or some even more complex form of emergence will transform the evolution of the universe |
15:55.14 | Hachiman | What could be more complex than life? |
15:55.15 | Xho | So it's roughly one ninth of the observable universe |
15:55.35 | Wormy_ | Earth has been transformed by life and is being transformed in a blink of an eye by intelligence |
15:56.20 | Wormy_ | Hachiman: The actions of creative intelligences, cultural evolution and society. And who knows what beyond that. |
15:57.12 | Wormy_ | Memeticists have said that the majority of all evolution that has ever happened has already occured in the human mind, in the form of memes |
15:57.50 | Xho | Hachiman: Meshuggah's polyrhythms |
15:57.56 | OluapWorker | Thousands of years in the future, we`ll be big guys for the universe |
15:58.05 | Hachiman | hur |
15:59.01 | Wormy_ | Hopefully we live in a multiverse, so we could say that we or our descendants have already spread into the universe |
15:59.31 | Wormy_ | Not in all universes, but in some |
15:59.52 | OluapWorker | I have little faith in humanity considering our current situation so I doubt we`ll ever leave the Earth |
16:00.13 | OluapWorker | We`ll probably self-destruct before we get the chance |
16:00.17 | Xho | no space 4 u |
16:00.56 | Wormy_ | I'm a rational optimist. That means I don't believe things will get better, but that problems are inevitable, yet soluable. It takes an understanding why cultures, theories and so on fail |
16:01.59 | Wormy_ | So our modern society or maybe a future one may in principle be capable of reaching further than Earth |
16:02.08 | Wormy_ | *will in principle |
16:04.05 | Wormy_ | It begs the question why the universe hasn't been engineered yet. Well we only see the past, we cannot forsee future problems and solutions |
16:05.18 | OluapWorker | we dai before den |
16:05.43 | Wormy_ | Possibly we are the only intelligence in the nearest galaxies, or perhaps other ones exist but have technology beyond our available ideas and sensors. Or maybe, aliens think fundamentally differently to us. |
16:07.37 | OluapWorker | Or the aliens are more primitive than us\ |
16:07.49 | Wormy_ | Anyway, perhaps less rationally, I like to think some UFOs are self-replicating spacecraft which inadvertently cause human minds to hallucinate. |
16:07.54 | Wormy_ | Yes |
16:08.21 | Wormy_ | One might expect the universe to be teeming with such technology |
16:08.32 | Wormy_ | If life is as common as we hope |

16:17.15 | Wormy_ | I don't imagine we would likely detect such spacecraft if they were made of nano or picoscale units able to self-organise |

16:18.31 | Wormy_ | This is a rather unfalsifiable assertion at present so I'll shut up |
16:19.03 | Wormy_ | hi |
16:19.10 | Ghel | Yes. Put your computer screen under a scanning electron microscope, and then get back to us. :P |
16:19.37 | Comrade_Vinny | HEy |
16:19.43 | Ghel | Hello. |
16:19.51 | Comrade_Vinny | :) |
16:20.46 | Wormy_ | Would be cool if UFOs exist mostly in cloud form and then assemble where they like |
16:20.58 | Wormy_ | drifting through the air |
16:22.00 | Ghel | Like utility fog. |
16:22.52 | Wormy_ | Precisely |
16:24.32 | Ghel | Individual nanoscale units wouldn't be any good for detecting visible light and especially not audible sound, though, so don't worry about them spying on you (although they may be able to make sense of non-wavelike fluctuations in electric fields, pressure and temperature). They'd have to assemble into at least dust-sized particles to do that. |
16:26.55 | Ghel | More likely, I imagine these fog-like clouds would have made Earth their home a long time ago (especially if interstellar travel is hard; they might well be stranded here). Existing as dust motes might be more of a survival mechanism thing than anything else. |
16:27.13 | Ghel | So existing as...* |
16:28.42 | Wormy_ | Interesting, certain things like nuclear reactors, power stations and aircraft where they commonly are seen might be places where they assemble into greater conglomerates |
16:29.15 | Wormy_ | indeed |
16:29.40 | Wormy_ | Cou'd they have even manipulated our biology? |
16:30.12 | Ghel | Perhaps. In what ways are you thinking of? |
16:30.59 | Wormy_ | Playing with our genes to expand our brain's capacity to store and transmit information |
16:32.06 | Ghel | Maybe, but our knowledge of human evolution is good enough now to make that unnecessary. Of course, they could have done it seemlessly to make it look like natural evolution, but there'd be no way to tell now. |
16:32.33 | Ghel | If we want to be really speculative, perhaps this utility fog is not just technology, but what the aliens are like naturally: intelligent colonial organisms, who have just augmented their bodies to have greater capabilities in Earth's atmosphere. |
16:33.39 | Wormy_ | Indeed |
16:34.20 | Wormy_ | Maybe being stuck on Earth they require something like humans to build spaceships |
16:35.28 | Wormy_ | Hm, I think I'll add this to my concept fiction |
16:37.10 | Wormy_ | The resurrection technology may well be derived from these alien units. And perhaps the templates for people's minds somehow get store in the utility fog and that's how the ressurection machine works |
16:37.32 | Hachiman | Wonder what their relationship with the dinosaurs must have been like |
16:38.06 | Ghel | People's minds being stored in the utility fog could also create ghosts... |
16:39.31 | Wormy_ | Huh, yes |
16:41.28 | Wormy_ | And ghosts of extinst animals |
16:41.42 | Wormy_ | The more smart ones anyway |
16:42.54 | Wormy_ | Actually they did this story in Doctor Who, but using the Matrix instead of utility fog (which could have been an advanced Time Lord version) |
16:45.31 | Wormy_ | https://www.bestthinking.com/articles/science/physics/quantum_physics/explanations-annihilated-in-hilbert-s-grand-infinity-hotel |
16:46.04 | Wormy_ | Sadly when you read the first couple of paragraphs of scientific philosophy our speculation simply isn't a good explanation |
16:46.23 | Wormy_ | But that's what science fiction is for |
16:52.28 | Hachiman | https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10985904_1408437702792673_4372349133371785425_n.jpg?oh=cb8fab374b740e4faeaf1cee65721c63&oe=555A236E&__gda__=1435803223_ac2895f406e11be580f7d5ad2c7f5f14 This never gets old |
16:53.07 | OluapWorker | That`s me whenever you say anything |
16:54.24 | Ghel | Wormy_: Currently, we can't verify our speculation, and I'm not sure it could be falsified, so it certainly doesn't seem like a scientific one. |
16:54.26 | Hachiman | That's me whenever I say anything |
16:54.53 | Ghel | But if I could come up with something nicely scientifically testable, I'd write a paper on it. :P |
16:56.07 | Wormy_ | The issue is that it contains many parts that are hard to refute because they assert things not easily testable, and because the idea can easily be varied into many ad hoc forms as we like |
16:56.46 | Wormy_ | I think it may still be true but science fiction is good for expressing such ideas |
16:59.29 | Wormy_ | A theory is good when we both can't vary it without breaking it and its easily testable. Foe example, the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verisimilitude of Newton's equations makes it hard to vary given our local experiences, though it gives way to Relativity on grander scales. A new theoey would be tentative, while older explanations that survive tend to act like the example |

23:31.45 | Xho | http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/c/c7/KicathianCorvette.png/revision/latest?cb=20150219232710 I felt like making a Kicathian Corvette so I did |
23:35.01 | Xho | Granted even though it's the second smallest designation of Kicathian ships it's still 768 metres long |
23:35.43 | Monet | That's a big corvette. |
23:36.29 | Xho | Myrmidon-class Corvettes are usually a popular choice of fleet commanders |
23:37.08 | Xho | Unless you're Agent Alpha and you prefer a Nihilist-class Dreadnought |
23:38.11 | Xho | The smallest designated ships are Fighter Classes |
23:38.30 | Xho | They're probably 200m long at the largest |
23:40.29 | Monet | What makes the corvette popular with fleet commanders? |
23:41.12 | Xho | Fast manoeuvrability as well as being comfortable on long periods in space |
23:42.41 | Monet | Sounds more ideal for a scout. |
23:43.13 | Xho | Fighters would come under that I guess |
23:44.42 | Wormy_ | My bet is on Jack http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/497/283/eac.jpg |
23:45.01 | Xho | Corvettes tend only to serve as command stations for commanders though it is more than capable in a combat situation |
23:45.28 | Xho | If you're a commander on a Corvette you'd rather let Frigates and larger ships do the work for you |
23:46.37 | Monet | OKay looking up modern real-world corvettes can measure between 50-128m in length. |
23:46.40 | Monet | That's kinda tiny |
23:46.55 | drom | Wormy_: The way he uses his foot as a grasp is impressive. |
23:46.58 | Xho | Most of the size is to do with the Kicath's size themselves |
23:47.13 | TekDroid | Real life ships top out a few hundred meters though. |
23:47.17 | Monet | Kicath- Stoopid tiny boats |
23:47.54 | Xho | If you crammed 150 Kicath onto a 128m ship they'd find it slightly claustrophobic |
23:48.12 | drom | That's about the double. That's to be 100-256. |
23:48.14 | drom | m |
23:48.47 | Xho | A 768-metre corvette is spacious for Kicath |
23:49.06 | Xho | Hence its general popularity among commanders |
23:49.41 | Xho | You'd more than likely get smaller types of corvettes but taking the Kicath's size into account getting any smaller than 350m is unlikely |
23:50.27 | Monet | It might be possible for corvettes in the fictionverse to be crewed by a dozen if not less. |
23:50.38 | Xho | True |
23:51.00 | Xho | A Commander's 150-strong crew would likely be able as military forces themselves |
23:51.15 | drom | While we are on space ships and prefered space. I'd say that Nomatari prefer ships with smaller corridors due to their preference to squeeze between tiny spaces. |
23:51.28 | Xho | Kicath - dat just weird |
23:52.13 | Xho | The Kicath do have a 67,800 m Dreadnought in concept which operates on a crew of 17,500 |
23:52.48 | Xho | http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/0/0b/ApocryphaClassDreadnought.png/revision/latest?cb=20141029191259 This thing |
23:54.54 | Monet | Draconis - Now you're jsut showing off. |
23:55.15 | Xho | I do sometimes wonder that with the Kicath's affinity for AI and hypercomputers that do they even need a crew on a Dreadnought |
23:55.49 | Xho | They probably like to have some sort of direct control over their own fleet I guess |
23:57.03 | Xho | And for the sake of sci-fi settings a colossal ship with no crew just sounds odd anyway |
23:57.43 | drom | ngh, i need to make another ship for the sovereignty |
23:57.53 | Monet | Theian - ...you sure? |
23:58.15 | Xho | hur |
