Alrighty, I'd say we should get into outer space today, don't have it drag on too long.

You should've used a picture of the Millenium Falcon for the Lullaby. >.>
 
No fuck that, this isn't star wars, and I am not going into that hype train. We have our own ship and our own story and it'll be a cold day in hell when I use something I didn't create my own story for in a RP.

B-but... It's the Millenium Falcon.... You can't really beat the Millenium Falcon, even with a star destroyer. It's... You just... Quantum mechanics negates that possibility.


Although... I guess we shouldn't be mixing universes here... ;;
 
No we shouldn't, and I won't. You see, the problem with implementing something already established and epic... is that never in the world you'll surpass it or improve on it. Now your own ship, your own ship that you can work with, make it unique and awesome.
 
Also, the millenium falcon wouldn't work in this universe, it's something nowadays called retro scifi. I'd say this universe would work closer with Asimov's ideas of science fiction, albeit in a more evolved science fiction setting, than with that of star wars.

Good point....
 
Ooh, quantum mechanics, that's fun. I have this thing for ideas and concepts that are on the edge of breaking your brain. Higher dimensions, time travel, transcendental personality, stuff like that.

Actually, I would like a bit of help with higher dimensions, I've been trying to figure that out.


I feel like a square.
 
The thing with dimensions is that you cannot envision them, and shouldn't try to.


Say; n.n.n is three dimensions, then n.n is two, and n.n.n.n is four. There is no difference between them.


Now, instead of a number though, the n is a straight line, you can go back and forth on it. Height, width and depth for example, you can all go between them. But, and this is a big but, you can not perceive a negative in a dimension when you see it. You can't have negative height, negative width or negative depth. You can't have negative time either, there has to be a point 0 in every dimension. You could go from length 1 to length 10, or from length 10 to length 1, but not from length 1 to length -1.


This changes in geometry though, as the dimension becomes a position I believe, so our 'real world' dimension isn't exactly the same as a mathematical dimension, because in maths you can have negative numbers. I think it is the perception that changes though, once you aren't perceiving the dimension anymore, it can become negative. But don't quote me on that, as I am not really an expert on dimensions either. Basically it has to do with the 'a priori' (the world before experiencing, the fully mathematical and logical world so to speak) and the 'a posteriori' (the world after experiences, basically what we live in). An a priori truth would be 1+1 = 2, that's a truth in any possible world you could experience a postereriori; it's consistent. A raven is black would be an a posteriori truth, because you have seen a raven being black, but in another world it could just as well be that ravens are pink with purple polka dots.


Imma stop here though, because as a philosopher I can ramble on for days about shizzle like this. I explained the fourth dimension of time to a friend over a harry potter movie, that's how bad it gets.

Well the most important question here is, do you understand it better now?
A bit, yes. The separation between the mathematical world and the actual world is somethings I never really stopped to consider, though.
 
Are all these pods next to each other, or are they in their own separate work areas?
 
Based on Lumi's post, it was in the work area. Buuuut that's for Elfy to say.

Each department would have their own pods I think, so 6 for each department, they're in a separate room, next to their sleeping spaces/rooms. So you have 6 rooms assigned to each department where you sleep, and then an extra room with pods. That's how I envisioned it.
