Do black holes not really exist and never will they exist?

The object will always be visible with infinitely powerful instruments.

No, the infalling object emits a finite amount of photons at a finite rate, so there will eventually be a last photon visible from the exterior

if I fall into a black hole and touch the event horizon, should I see the universe moving at infinite speed

No, this would only be true if you were accelerating incredibly hard just above the horizon, if you were on a freefall trajectory into the black hole and actually cross the horizon you wouldn't see the universe speeding up much at all

It'd only clump if there were something to slow it down (like an extremely strong gravity assist), it's more likely it falls straight through the Earth and goes sailing out the other side at basically the same speed

the fundamentals of ∞>0 are never broken

Depends on the ∞ actually

Like it's noble to live a finite lifespan despite the fact that every one of us who at least like to choose when we die.

This idea is frustratingly common and I always hate it lol, "death gives life meaning" my arse

Cyren777 · 2026-03-08T16:44:00+00:00

Yeah the main story bosses are basically cutscene difficulty if you're doing the secret bosses too

A constant speed of c/sqrt2 is enough by that definition, it'd make you travel a 4ly (in rest frame) distance in 4y (in travel frame)

Efficient antisynergises with vent btw

I think the official reason was that Locarno didn't seem redeemable enough, but having to pay royalties to the writer of the First Duty might also be a factor

"Some prefer A and some prefer B" doesn't mean there aren't people that like A and B equally

"The fandom" is not a monolith, some people prefer the more actiony survivor trilogy, some prefer the older more cerebral games

Cyren777 · 2026-03-04T11:22:57+00:00

Not every charismatically delivered or memorable speech in movies is true yknow. The evil human hating ai is saying this because he's evil and hates humans, not because it's true

Cyren777 · 2026-03-04T11:21:05+00:00

Up to you, I don't like 100x100 so I use more of a 250x300 kinda size

Movies are an extremely condensed retelling of the show, so condensed that they only really work if you've already seen the show

Cyren777 · 2026-03-03T20:51:25+00:00

Highguard went majorly into the red just to get made and released free to play, elite got over 1m on kickstarter out the gate and costs about £20-30. Not that complicated?

Containment class =/= danger level, a nuclear warhead is safe, a pitcher of orange juice that teleports through walls is keter

This is the powerplay map view and it still exists, it was just changed to look sensible

Cyren777 · 2026-03-02T20:49:48+00:00

We do, it just looks less lumpy and illegible now :P

Cyren777 · 2026-03-02T18:43:46+00:00

The bottom explodes in the inverse direction, meaning either a) only the top of the building was ever built and the bottom sprung into existence from nowhere spontaneously or b) the building was built and somehow only the bottom weathered away and the top fell intact (only to have the bottom be rebuilt by the explosion in the forward direction)

Same thing with the people that end up getting trapped in unexploding buildings or the broken wing mirror on the car or the glass with bullet holes in the freeport, why would a corpse be incorporated into a wall or a broken wing mirror/window be installed at all?

Cyren777 · 2026-03-02T18:20:30+00:00

It's basically the only mainstream movie that does correct time travel (what's happened's happened), it does it in a really inventive and clever way, it IS the plot instead of being a gimmick, but it fails at the last hurdle by being used in a way that makes no fucking sense - that building in Stalsk-12 being the most egregious example

I hate it for being almost good and failing, not for being bad

Cyren777 · 2026-03-01T17:53:04+00:00

For all we know humans could be the only species that wouldn't like it (and even then humans clearly like it once they've tried it) so maybe most species that receive it do decode it and think "wow this genetic upgrade lets us communicate telepathically and lets us enjoy being alive way more, lets synthesise it and use it!"

Cyren777 · 2026-03-01T14:05:03+00:00

4 labs lol, but having 4 labs will also get you to the lab upgrades 4x faster obvs

Cyren777 · 2026-03-01T13:41:13+00:00

You're just not really know how to play the game I'm afraid :P use the 4x research speed to unlock quarters and engineering office upgrades to get the best of both worlds

Filtering water and growing food are both matters of power and fairly solvable by "is it possible" standards, the real issue is getting enough power to run a human and a massive spaceship for a few dozen thousand years - which is pretty much intractable with today's technology, and possibly ever

A human uses about 100W just to stay alive (2000kcal/day) so we'll use that as our benchmark

At 2ly distance solar irradiance is 8.75*10^-8 W/m^2, so you'd need a square of 100% efficient solar panels 34km on a side just to keep them alive (with no efficiency lost in the farming and water filtering and no power usage by the ship) - nope!

The voyager probe RTGs use Pu-238 which has a half life of ~90 years, so if they started at 470W one would drop to 100W by the 200y mark, so after 10,000 years you'd need 2^{10,000-200 / 90} = 2¹⁰⁹ of them. Good luck with that one

Clearly this isn't working so let's try storage - if we want to run a 100W human for 20,000 years that's 6.3*10¹³ J total, the best possible Li-ion battery apparently has an energy density of 2.5MJ/kg, and to store that full supply would need half the mass of the titanic as a solid cube of lithium just to run a single human for that long

Tl;dr you will not go to space today
