Hegemony-V2 begins page 302

[Retech]

Okay Mather, say you walk into a matter transporter. You get transported to whoever knows where, free of problems. Everyone else thinks you're exactly the same, but would your own perception be as if it teleported, or would it be that your perception would be gone, but a new perception with the exact same thoughts as you, without being you appears on the other side?

[The_Mather1]

You have to stand inside the rings, which are lying partially submerged, then when they are activated you see them rise up, then you see a bright light fading in and when it fades out you are somewhere else.

 

I'll try to find a vid...

 

Found one:

I'll try to find one in first person...

 

Found a GMod one:

Only diffrence is the area (gm_build) and the HUD, the control device is the same.

[Retech]

I'm not talking about in Stargate, but literally, if we made something like that, what would happen?

[The_Mather1]

You would be dead from when you were sent to when you were reconstructed, remembering nothing between those but everything else, or at least so I guess, we're into a discussion wether our consious minds are just brain chemistry or souls, we have no way of knowing for sure until we try.

Well my laser shifting keeps people alive. The nerves can't make sense of being isolated, or atomised or anything like that...so the brain(When it rematerialises) gets a bundle of signals which say 'Errr...' which translates to tingling. The process takes 8 seconds, regardless of the distance because of the living crystals from the F'Calent and the Zero Energy Principle(Which I made up. It states that nothing cannot exist anywhere and so anything which is nothing must exist everywhere or it exists nowhere and if it exists then it exists otherwise it must exist.)(Which also happens to be part of the second law of thermodynamics)

Projects ARCHIVE M& T (yes I am reinstating tachyon field powered ships but would be willing to negotiate) continue as well as project's Playwright and Archimedes. Mather your shields are not powerful enough to stop certain railguns and I dare you to park your city ship in a black hole. On a side note just curious but am I the one who will be getting the random event archi?

[archimage_a]

Yeah. I don't think shields can stop gravity.

 

What is playwright?

[Grim_]

Yeah. I don't think shields can stop gravity.

 

What is playwright?

read pm after I edit it.

~Recent news of the Lichten Empire~

 

After the tragic loss of Japan, the Lichten Empire is expanding again, with the discovery of a Binary Star system known as Tycus. Five billion settlers have recently landed and sent back transmissions, indicating fair temperatures and calm seas. With that, the Lichten empires has given birth to a new federation of states, the UFLS (United Federation of Lichten States). The members are: The Lichten Empire (Erikio and New Erikio), the Capiahn Federation (Capiah 1 and 2), the city states of Ekedou (Ekedou), the Tycan Republic (Tycus), and the independant territories which share land with Mather.

 

Currently, Tycus A has been colonized, though others may quickly follow.

~Election Results~

 

As election results roll in, results are much as expected. The royalists took home a majority, with equalists coming in with a close 2nd. However, despite the Royalist victory, equalist-like parties received the majoirty of the vote. It's possible that the equalists could make a coalition government with the Industrialists, giving them the majority, though Industralists still had more in common with the Royalists.

 

Royalists:

Male Vote: 7%

Female Vote: 67%

 

Equalists:

Male Vote: 47%

Female Vote: 0%

 

Industrialists (Trade):

Male Vote: 27%

Female Vote: 23%

 

Republicans:

Male Vote: 14%

Female Vote: 5%

 

Socialists:

Male Vote: 5%

Female Vote: 5%

 

------------------------

 

Combined Vote Total:

Equalist-Like Party: 38%

Royalist-Like Party: 37%

Industrialists: 25%

[Nero]

Dusty, may I construct an entertainment stadium on the coast off Japan?

No.

[Retech]

But, gladiator fights. :(

[The_Mather1]

Yeah. I don't think shields can stop gravity.

I said with enough power, that probably means one hundred or so ZPMs.

[Retech]

Errr, stop gravity? What? <_<

[The Dark Lord]

Bull-[cabbage], nothing can escape a black hole once it's pulled in by the tidal forces.

[Seraphi]

Wouldn't a warp engine be able to escape a black hole by going like way faster than the speed of light?

 

Edit: No, since we couldn't use it due to the black holes mass.

 

A few of my Styx Battlestations are being towed out of the local area to a secret location

[archimage_a]

I said with enough power, that probably means one hundred or so ZPMs.

Oh right, I thought you said 'With enough power to' as in they are that powerful.

[Wisp]

Shields wouldn't help you escape a black whole. Hell, more mass would probably make you get sucked in faster.

[VEGHATERMEATLOVER]

Heres a way, if enough antimatter (which doesn't work as its just a theory in the game) created a white hole which nuetrilised the blackhole. But since we don't have antimatter or anything that could create enough quick enough it doesn't work.

Shields if strong enough could allow things to not be ripped apart by the black hole? maybe travel via wormholes.

[Retech]

A version of the Miltopian games has been set up in Erikio. The difference is that only Lichten prisoners can compete... to the death! :thumbsup:

 

The "athletes" will compete in a variety of enviroments, from tropical jungle to the Sahara desert, to the Frozen Tundra. Also, historical battles will be waged, such as the battle of Japan, with real weapons! Thousands of prisoners can be involved in a single battle, so come and see the bloodshed!

 

----------

 

Today's presentation is a re-enactment of the famous sea battles of Earth, between blood thirsty pirates. The "ships" will be constructed of various materials and swung from a giant rope in the arena. To simulate the fact that if you fell into the water, you probaly died, spikes and beasts have been added to the bottom. Who will win: Captain Yar har har or Sea Matey Avast ye Matey! Only time... and hundreds of dead bodies will tell~!

[archimage_a]

Ok. Lets settle this.

 

To survive in a Black Hole your shields need to have a rating greater than:

J=gC^2

 

Joules=grams*speed of light(m/s)^2

 

Bearing in mind that the closer you get the more the ship weighs.

 

 

Retech, I think I underestimated your death rate....89%?

[The_Mather1]

Shields if strong enough could allow things to not be ripped apart by the black hole? maybe travel via wormholes.

Yeah, or you could just use pure logic since Magnetism is the same as gravity(only more efficiant for some matter), and equal and opposite forces cancel eachother out, then if the EMF is as strong as the gravity of the black hole then they would act towards eachother as if neither existed.

[Retech]

Is that an arbitrary formula or is it based on a real scientific concept?

 

------------------------

 

Erm Mather? Scientists have so far been unable to find a link between quantum mechanics (strong nuclear, weak nuclear, electromagnetism) and gravity. They probaly do cancel each other out in some form, but it's not nearly that simple. The best way to destroy a black hole would be to position several black holes in a way that the various pulls would basically eject matter out of the black hole, thereby making the hole less dense, which would get rid of its light capture effect.

[archimage_a]

e=mc^2?

Scientific theory I believe.

 

It is just g because weight increases, mass doesn't.

[VEGHATERMEATLOVER]

Your going to need a big [wagon] electromagnet.

But magnetism won't effect not magnetisable things (I.E metals) ergo it will not work.

[Retech]

Archi, what do you mean about the death rate?
