Avvy 5 Discussion - This Hurts Me More Than It Does You

[Sithdarth]

I'd like to take this opportunity that the whole same matter same space thing was a horrible horrible Hollywood plot device and it has about as much basis in actual science as faeries, unicorns, and the flying spaghetti monster.

That's fantastic. You may leave the RP at any time.

No, I mean it. Granted, you're probably addressing Hawk on that one, but this "That couldn't possibly work in real science" thing you've been doing like crazy for the last few posts in this thread is getting old in a hurry. Especially given that your whole shtick is comical, completely impossible overexaggerations of quantum mechanics, with each of your posts being painfully easy to pick apart if real science were brought into this.

GM WARNING: Get over it or get out.

Anybody looking closely will see that THIS PARTICULAR GREEN is slightly blue.

This is important.

There may be a quiz later.

I'm sorry I just have this thing about shoddy science especially when its not all that hard to actually find some information on what you are looking for. The whole building was more trying to demonstrate why common sense would imply to a person that the floor of any very tall tower wouldn't be made of metal seeing as it never happens in the real world.

As for Hawk that particular assertion about the same matter and the same place violates both the laws of thermodynamics and the Pauli exclusion principle. First off thermodynamical you can't pluck a stray atom out of the air and tell just by looking at it what bit of matter it was pulled from. If that were possible we'd be swimming in working perpetual motion machines about now as well as devices that predict the future and detail every detail of the past.

Now the Pauli exclusion principle prevents any two fermions from occupying the same quantum state, ie the same space. This is very important because all the building blocks of matter are fermions. If the Pauli exclusion principle didn't exist neither would atoms and thus life. Nor would fusion be possible so there goes the sun. Further, when you touch something there isn't actually any contact between your matter and the matter you are touching. What you feel are the electrostatic forces between the electrons in your atoms and the electrons in the atoms you are "touching". (This is why you don't feel it when you are bombarded by alpha particles or neutrons.) There is actually a significant amount of empty space between you and what you "touch". Overcoming this would lead to fusion and your death.

So in the short the whole notion of someone traveling back in time and touching themselves and thereby causing their destruction is directly contradicted by laws of physics that allow us to exist and to continue to exist. Which is why that particular bit of Hollywood plot device annoys me more than just about any other one ever.

Yeah, but, I mean this seriously: Let it go. It was an inconsequential bit of one-off dialogue, and there could be some serious doubts as to just how much Hawk's character actually knows about his own technology.

Like the fact that his multitool thing is, in fact, just an iPhone and that he's really only from the year 2009.

EDIT: Fenris doesn't care if the current RP thread goes too far over post limit for a bit. I'm really tired and work like a stupid crazy person this weekend, so I'll do my best to crank something out to start the next thread with. Of course, a bunch of people are out of town and otherwise unavailable anyway, so I imagine things are going to be slowing down a tad no matter what I do.

Thank you all for you patience in this OH MY GOD I HATE MY JOB WHY ARE THERE SO MANY WATERMELONS EVERYBODY NEEDS TO FUCKING DIE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW YAAAARRRRRRRGH

Erm dude, it was a JOKE!

I was simply commenting on all the wierd shit that was going on, so what if I make mention of a well known piece of make-believe bullshit? Half the stuff that he was commenting on is theoretical bullshit as it is and some of it makes absolutely no sense either.

And yes, Hawk actualy DOES know how his own technology works POS and he really IS from far into the future, I'm just simply toning down the use of the TMT because you told me to. It's a bit more advanced that an iphone, as you well know.

See what I did there? Yeah.

Yeah, that's great, you found the copy and paste buttons, well done you.

That kind of hostility is really not needed around here, Hawk.

Warning.

Firstly, new RP thread is up, if you haven't already noticed.

Secondly, the new arrivals:

Name: Psychotically Amorous Nasal-Allergy Medicine Spokesbees (PAN-AMS)
Rank: Crazies
Appearance: Contracted out by a fledgling allergy medicine company, POS Industries' marketing branch opted not to enter the overly-saturated field of computer animation and instead commissioned the engineering of a foot-long anthropomorphic bee to perform in the commercials. After much genetic engineering testing, a suitable spokesbee was created. However, the company was saddled with a nigh-endless supply of failed prototypes. Deciding to kill two birds with one stone, Pedro O'Sullivan had them converted into security drones for the Kurosen Tower.
Weapons/abilities: Same abilities as regular bees, only with a higher level of sentience and an obvious increase in power due to their immensely larger size. The amount of venom injected into a person's bloodstream is considered crippling at best, fatal at worst.
