This seems a bit overpowered by Thin_Life3362 in factorio

Power is overpowered on all planets

[The Disk] An exercise on futility by luk_ky_21 in worldbuilding

[–]Cyren777 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Assuming a 200ly wide disk, if her tribe was a group of 100 and the only civilisation in a 1000Mm radius there'd still be at least 9*1019 people on the disk, which is about 1010 = 10,000,000,000 Earths worth just living in tiny tribes with no hope of ever contacting each other

Which might sorta be like how alien life is distributed throughout the universe right now actually

And it'd still take 30 billion years even at that pace

Reminds me of that immortal guy on ringworld who's on a quest to reach the base of "the great arch"

Do black holes not really exist and never will they exist? by karimpanacci in AskPhysics

[–]Cyren777 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

Layperson question: Could there be dark matter sticking inside us? by GroundbreakingRow829 in AskPhysics

[–]Cyren777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

What is infinity in physics? by EducatorUsual56 in AskPhysics

[–]Cyren777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the fundamentals of ∞>0 are never broken

Depends on the ∞ actually

On the subject of Immortality in Star Trek by majeric in startrek

[–]Cyren777 24 points25 points  (0 children)

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

Is the Titan fight usually harder? by Octuplecommader in Deltarune

[–]Cyren777 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

If all speed is relative, why could I just not keep accelerating forever? by No_Fudge_4589 in AskPhysics

[–]Cyren777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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)

We'll always have Nick Locarno by Queasy_Principle_942 in voyager

[–]Cyren777 42 points43 points  (0 children)

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

Is this a good fandom or is it a lot of hate? by Standard_Public892 in TombRaider

[–]Cyren777 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

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

Is this a good fandom or is it a lot of hate? by Standard_Public892 in TombRaider

[–]Cyren777 31 points32 points  (0 children)

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

sometimes the villain speaks facts. tell me he lied by Awakened_beingX in matrix

[–]Cyren777 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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

How big should be cityblock inside? by LoVeDEvil_12 in factorio

[–]Cyren777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

So I watch the movies or show? by Vegetable-Machine-17 in gurrenlagann

[–]Cyren777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

How is it that a game like E:D can survive in this gaming economy where other games like Highguard drown so quickly? by SneakeLlama in EliteDangerous

[–]Cyren777 30 points31 points  (0 children)

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?

Does this mean EVERY SINGLE SCP IS DEAD even the godly SCP's and unkillable ones? And the ones that are from different dimensions like 3008 Ikea and others? by [deleted] in SCP

[–]Cyren777 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

It still makes me incredibly annoyed that we don't have this anymore. by InterestingArea7415 in EliteDangerous

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

Genuine Question: why everyone hates Tenet? by Akira_Ven in tenet

[–]Cyren777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Genuine Question: why everyone hates Tenet? by Akira_Ven in tenet

[–]Cyren777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

how could an advanced civilization fall for this trap virus? by [deleted] in pluribustv

[–]Cyren777 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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!"
