I've got to thinking how Exalted and RL physics compare. For instance, how would an RL human compare to Creation's mortal/humans? We know everything in the Exalted setting is made of motes and everything in RL is either energy or atomic particles. (Atomic particles being energy that's somehow become whatever it is atomic particles really are) The most powerfully overpowered Solar exalt is made of how many motes in total? 9,001? 1,000,000? Average-ish humans have approximately 7*10^27 atoms. (There are approximately 10^21 stars in the observable universe according to astronomer-mathematician-scientists.) Motes can do many crazy stuff, but the energy of one proton being released by one anti-proton is, uh, alot. I can't actually find how much energy it its, but I'm really really sure that the energy in one proton is enough to effect lots of other atomic-scale stuff, followed by lots of zeroes. (Yeah, that's not too accurate is it? ) If a Exalted was real, and an RL mortal ended up there (with all his RL stuff with him) would that RLotal be the same size as Exortals, or would all of creation fit under one foot? Would the presence of RL stuff so severely warp Creation's conceptualish reality that lots of Creation would go *poof*? Even if everyone was on human scale and reality wasn't suddenly destroyed, would interaction still be possible? Could I breath Creation's air, eat the food and drink the water? Would the powerful weapons and magic effect my alien, impossibly hyperdense biology at all? Will I ever get the mental picture of hundreds of KoC-style Exalts throwing their light shows ineffectively at an invincible mountain sized space-suited "behemoth", or alternatively an ant-sized space suit guy/gal?
Skipping the obvious "Exalted is fiction so everything can go," let's have some fun speculation if that's ok with everyone.
So many words! :shock:
