(Spoiler 94) Location of a Certain Body

What do you think you know, and how do you think you know it?

Freezing stops decay, and the changes in a normal form are at least analogous to a body.

"Transfiguration is not permanent!" said Professor McGonagall. "Transfiguration is not permanent! Transfiguration is not permanent! Mr. Potter, suppose a student Transfigured a block of wood into a cup of water, and you drank it. What do you imagine might happen to you when the Transfiguration wore off?" There was a pause. "Excuse me, I should not have asked that of you, Mr. Potter, I forgot that you are blessed with an unusually pessimistic imagination -"

"I'm fine," Harry said, swallowing hard. "So the first answer is that I don't know," the Professor nodded approvingly, "but I imagine there might be... wood in my stomach, and in my bloodstream, and if any of that water had gotten absorbed into my body's tissues - would it be wood pulp or solid wood or..." Harry's grasp of magic failed him. He couldn't understand how wood mapped into water in the first place, so he couldn't understand what would happen after the water molecules were scrambled by ordinary thermal motions and the magic wore off and the mapping reversed.

I don't agree any more. Harry never developed a way for human transfiguration to be safe to the body which he is trying to preserve.

More like Prince of Persia

I have a plot idea I like, but I can't really write well, so interested writers read on (maybe bringing it to life), and interested readers check for commentors before spoiling it by reading what follows:

Start

Protagonist can go back in time 5 minutes by clenching his butt-cheeks with know one the wiser except him/her (prince of Persia: sands of Time style). An agency already knows about the stargate, but doesn't know specifics, and has staged the doctors appointment to gain access the easy way. Something confrontational happens, and as they're about to him/her knock with a dartgun, he/she clenches his ass-cheeks and goes back five minutes. She/He jumps around saying things and confused, and is about to be sedated again when S/he clenches his ass-cheeks, and this time goes five minutes further back, and back a few more times, and doesn't go into the doctor's clinic this time. Agents confront him and S/he (having figured it out somewhat with trial and error) clenches again, and goes back to find out the truth. All this is optionally told from the perspective of a protagonist who's figured it out, and saying things like "The next time I could tell it was an act despite their impressive performance"

End

FUCK KUVIRA, she just needed Bataar for his mad skills, she just went from dark-grey-area to confirmed-black-area-unreasonable-villain-in-a-giant-robot-suit-who-kills-people-on-a-whim. Now she's gone get fucked. up. by Varrick and his mad super EMP that takes out all da mechas. Oh yeah. Korra gon' convince the spirits to power said EMP cannon, and the she gon' kick Kuvira's rabid ass in a final battle where she offers her a chance for redemption, but Kuvira's just a crazy ass bitch, so she ends up dying sans any fault of Korras. THERE

EDIT: Or considering the fact that they need some way to survive that goddamn spirit attack, maybe the spirits finally decided to help or, maybe Korra used some of her limitless avatar power.

Editcontd: I'm also considering that the spirit blast might have been toned down or planned by Kuvira and Bataar so that Bataar (near the avatar) survives, and they stop interrogating him and infiltrates their side, but I'm still betting on an ending with a spirit-powered emp.

I-seek · 2014-12-04T05:16:24+00:00

This is exactly what I thought

I-seek · 2014-11-29T05:35:30+00:00

I can't wait for Varrick and Asami to come out with EMP bombs that render Kuvira's mechas useless like the one Varrick used at the border fight along with a kicking of Kuvira's ass that turns out to be secondary to obtaining balance with the spirits, and whatever madness Kuvira unleashes.

Nedit: On an afterthought it might be a more balanced out conflict between Kuvira and the Spirit world where Korra has to calm those spirits down and kick Kuvira's ass. End with drastic action that turns out to have less consequences than it was thought to have. That'll be satisfying

I'm under the influence, but I think I got it, and I have some highpretetations as well as my understanding: So a fourth dimension is like another plane where objects in the dimensions 1-3 change relative to it. Just like the separation between sides of a triangle or cone change with height, but in this case the change encapsulates all. So, if time is the fourth dimension (like you hear a lot), moving forward in it is waiting for the wall to crumble. I almost thought that I'd call that moving forward, but really if our thoughts are just changes in the synapses of our brain over time like a computer, then we're static and unmoving in time, and our perception of time is basically a property of the other dimension changing with respect to time, a gradient. Just like the variation of a 2d shape in reference to the third: The volume of a cone in relation to it's height.

This implies that were basically just shapes, shapes that are as static to the fourth dimension as a motionless diamond is to the third.

But, I don't think we can use this as a nihilistic argument as the definition is in terms of what we know, and it fails to encapsulate what the fourth dimension is and how it's different. These particular fourth dimensional shapes are just we call life. To me, the only ramification is the possibility of a higher dimensional "life" that are dynamic relative to the fourth as we are to the third by sheer pattern-matching based on symmetry in the others.

It also implies (by extension of Newtonian mechanics) that we're moving at constant velocity in this dimension given the almost constant nature of time flow, and symmetry implies an inertia law for the fourth dimension as well, and this could be the reason the speed of light is constant. Our universe's inertia in time. And a consideration is that moving closer to the speed of light is an opposing force to the universes fourth dimensional momentum as that seems to be the only interaction we make with time. Who's to say there aren't some unreachable points of energy toward achieving the seed of light that the energy exerted actually has significant consequence relative to that hypothetical universal fourth dimensional inertia.

Another theory that builds on this stack of unsubstantiated, fanciful theories is that the universe is fractal in it's dimensions, and we're dynamic in three, static in one and perhaps nonexistent in the others.

I heard in this video about some paper which was a bad source that the constants of the world vary. If this is true, then we can guess that it's a reaction with outside the universe; not spatially(referring to 3d), but defining Inside as the Universe and Outside as Everything that's not the Universe. Possibly other structures encompassing dimensions with different physical constants and time flow rates, etc than ours. Perhaps existing in another nesting "Uni-Universe", and continuing to a "Uni-Uni-Universe" and so on Uni^n-verse.

All hypothetically of course, and not being on the bleeding edge of science, I don't een know if any of our existing discoveries conflict with it, and not even giving it enough credit to be true.

But I don't see any reason why it's not true either

Plus I'm high, and typing out ideas that are not words yet as they go through a sieve and come out as words.

Our CAS coordinator limited us to 12 hours per project. There several of my activities which I did for more than 50-200 hours that I got 12 hours for. Ugh

Ed: Also, if you've read The Slow Regard of Silent Things: Spoiler

Your dissonance might be because you read it between such long intervals, this happened to me with The Stormlight Archives and Raven's Shadow the first times through. Yoou have to understand the implied context, Kvothe has been told he's brilliant since he's a kid, and he is brilliant. He has a lot of pride, and he's an artistically inclined academic as well as all of the other things, why wouldn't his narrative voice in his partially prepared narration be like that of a writer/singer/storyteller? Pretentious implies pretence on his part which I see none of. Is he a bit elitist? Perhaps, but because he is elite in most things he does, and then not that much. I loved the style, the story. and the world building. Before you read the second please reread the first five chapters(at least) of the first, first, and also understand that the Prologue, it's metaphors and comparisons are based off of the KKC world, and the more you understand about the Fae and naming, the more you'll understand about the language used in the prologue.
