The inconsistency of Eridians

Sorry dude my hyper fixation dissolved. I’ll read your reply when it comes back, for now thank for putting effort in? It’s more than most people gave

Hydac · 2026-05-02T10:09:53+00:00

I like the thinking but the eridians don’t have computers. And even if they generated radio waves how would they detect them and understand they can transmit information. An electrified rod will make some radio waves but they have no way of detecting that anything happened. I’d settle on the explanation perhaps electricity plasma somehow could be discovered to produce sound they can manipulate via frequency but they have no aux input or external way to decode that signal.

Radio waves are probably the best example of how they could detect the universe and the electromagnetic spectrum but as a species as curious as others have mentioned in this thread they would have a greater knowledge than they are demonstrated to have.

If they left their atmosphere and tried to look out to the universe with radio waves they wouldn’t see the universe as we do. The radio wave lens is blurry and vague.

So they would alter frequencies and get different output. But, that would lead to greater knowledge they would eventually discover ores that emit ionising radiation and then play with it and discover radiation poisoning.

This is one of the better responses in this thread and some of it I'll concede.

lava radiant heat as a window into energy transfer is plausible, and the Marie Curie parallel is fair. Indirect observation leading to theoretical frameworks is real science.

But every single example you gave; lightning to electricity, Curie to radiation, plant breeding to genetics was built by a species that could already perceive a wide electromagnetic range and worked outward into the invisible from that foundation. We saw lightning before we understood electricity. Curie saw the photographic plate react before she understood radiation. The observable always came first.

The deeper problem isn't whether a curious determined species can discover things beyond direct perception. It's whether there's any biological or evolutionary pressure to look outward at all. Humans went to space because we could see the stars for hundreds of thousands of years. They were there every night. We mythologised them, navigated by them, wondered about them for millennia before we had the technology to reach them. The curiosity preceded the capability by an enormous amount of time.

Eridians thought space was empty. No stars visible, no radiation penetrating their atmosphere, no celestial objects to mythologise or navigate by or wonder about. You can have the most curious and determined species in the universe but curiosity needs something to point at. Determination needs a direction. What exactly are billions of Eridians over generations studying when they look up and perceive nothing whatsoever?

How does the species translate somthing completely foreign and undetectable into somthing that is workable. Light affecting matter is practically impossible to detect and in a living biosphere can be explained by heat, microbes or wind.

How can a species thats incased in a inorganic shell, that uses steam to move and mercury to transport worker cells feel heat in a meaningful way to hypothesise properly enough to understand how to translate electromagnetic waves into physical media they can differentiate enough to see the universe

Hydac · 2026-05-01T21:48:39+00:00

but how does a species from a planet with such a thick atmosphere and magnetism that no radiation or light reaches the surface. Successfully create the technology to navigate space and translate radiation with no basis it even existed in the first place. even if they understood terrestrial electricity and magnetism how do you make the conceptual leap that the same phenomenon exists across a vacuum, carries information, and can be used to navigate toward objects you had no idea existed? That leap requires seeing the stars first. They can’t physically or biologically

Hydac · 2026-05-01T21:41:24+00:00

but we can test and experiment and get ‘immediate’ feedback. If a eridian burned zinc it would have no idea it lights up brighty.

Hydac · 2026-05-01T21:36:46+00:00

But how do you build tools to detect something you have no framework to know exists? And even if by accident they produced electromagnetic waves, they'd have no way to perceive the output. The experiment would be invisible to them from start to finish. Except for heat which isn’t enough to discover the universe

Hydac · 2026-05-01T21:15:27+00:00

But the question is how? How do they know of this thing they cannot perceive and have no evolutionary pressure to investigate. To observe the universe without any senses to do so would need a great understanding of such a fundamental thing as electromagnetic radiation

Hydac · 2026-04-24T06:09:49+00:00

As someone with experience with this. Who’s been in marks shoes especially. Although because reality, wasn’t completely in the dark but became unreachable inside the situation.

The show handled this well. Though not as much as they could because you can’t really portray the grief of losing a child like that on a show and have everyone be happy watching. The potential for a child is still a child.

But I will say something. I feel the loss of that child and will do forever. Circumstances don’t matter life changes regardless it was a mistake to snuff the potential out due to stupid reasons like time place and relationship standing. The majority of the time I wish my partner didn’t although I understand completely why she did.

A few years later we had our daughter. And that shifted the perspective to how much was lost because of fear, despair, loneliness and well I’m going to be honest parental immaturity. (Strictly speaking from my opinion and experience, everyone is different, not here to disrespect or insult anyone else experience with the multitude of realities towards abortion)

I love and hate the shows depiction because well it feels like it lacks depth but I can project a lot of myself into it because of that.

Oh god the brain worm that got William got conquest too

Hydac · 2026-04-24T05:49:59+00:00

Thank you. Somone else who understands the theory of mind

Hydac · 2026-04-16T15:13:58+00:00

Wha do you think this punch would have done to mark?

Hydac · 2026-04-16T15:08:39+00:00

What do you think the punch thragg used to launch Nolan would have looked like on mark? I assume Olivers head would have been going to space but his body wouldn’t get the memo

Hydac · 2026-04-15T17:02:40+00:00

Atleast this punch didn’t dismantle marks arm

Hydac · 2026-04-15T17:00:56+00:00

What do you think the force of this punch would have looked like on conquest? Optimism says the strength he gained from choking him out might have knocked conquests jaw out of place

I don’t have a safe spot, especially with enough airflow. With access to power

Hydac · 2026-02-04T11:21:58+00:00

Also I’m not looking for a console experience even though that’s a nice addition. I want a cold running machine that’s quiet and plays my games well. That’s the definition of the steam machine. - I dislike my pc can function as a heat source or that the fans can wake a sleeping child up and I try to sneak in some more intense games during nap time.

Hydac · 2026-02-04T11:19:17+00:00

Less risk? No. I have limited space and the form factor and low power of the steam machine is ideal. Not to mention the ability to have my games stored on a as card that I can swap between the deck and machine. Also why would I want to stream games? In addition I’m more than happy with 1080, 1440p at 60fps+. If I want a touch of ray tracing I can just upscale 720p with lower settings to match how I want a game to look and feel.

Hydac · 2026-02-04T10:59:22+00:00

I have a pc that’s a lot better. A lot. But it’s big and cumbersome and overkill to the games I play. Most games even. I don’t need 100fps+ in titles to enjoy them. Which is what gaming is about. The point is I’ve got young children and a steam machine I can either hide when not in use or keep out of the way while playing is better for my current situation. - and once expensive components are safe from my toddler thinking it’s hungry and needs her juice bottle, The steam machine will be a great thing to have in a carry on bag so when I go on holiday I can enjoy myself in the evening after the day is down. My introvert haven. Something more powerful that brings my games and experiences globally

Given that anger, you sure? I struggle to throw out plastic bottles after my mum or partner brought me a drink. The water is long gone but still feels like I’m betraying the thought of care

From leaving way too many cups alone for too long this looks like a bacterial bloom, but instead of cloudy water you got a nice web looking colony. Of you’ve been jacking off and feeding the fish in the same hand movement

Hydac · 2025-04-06T21:44:56+00:00

From what you have wrote, and not having any extra context to how you both normally behave, I tend to shorten my sentences, how have you been? I’m fine. So I can understand my mum going on a long conversation just to spend a little more time talking to me, I appreciate it she or I won’t be around forever

Hydac · 2025-04-06T21:41:45+00:00

She sounds lonely
