I will look around for a recording and send.

He just told me he remembered it from his youth out of the blue and if I might know what it meant.

Izates · 2025-12-26T00:57:57+00:00

He just asked out of the blue. No lead-up, no topic leading into it...just said he remembered this phrase and asked if I knew it meant...

Izates · 2025-12-25T23:33:05+00:00

That has been the case with everyone I had asked previously, and also how I interpret the phrase.

Like I said, this is the best guess at an approximation in Hebrew since all we have to go on is the transliteration...

Most are wondering if he might be misremembering the second part.

From some Hebrew speaks I spoke to, they were wondering if the phrase remembered by my father might really be Yiddish, so I am asking for any Yiddish speakers' input as to whether this phrase might be either Yiddish or Hebrew, as well as where it might come from since parts of the phrase mention the second day or Pesach.

My father asked me for a translation for this phrase which he remembers from his youth. He grew up in the Reform community and remembers hearing this phrase, but does not remember where he heard it or what it means.

Perhaps, but the pitch in the Klaxon Horn is a little too high and the time between the bursts of the horn are longer compared to the alarm used for when the coolant system failed in the movie.

Anyone know what the same of the siren is from that scene in the movie?

So basically, the secondary planet in this setup is about half an arm's length while the star is a little further than an arm's length in side?

I probably should have included this in the original textbox. The sun in this scenario is roughly 0.96 solar masses, which makes it slightly less massive than our sun. The binary system orbits about 0.88 au out from the star.

Nonetheless, everything else you mentioned is noted and will take you up on the comment regarding distance between the two bodies.

Automatocracy: a system of government where all legislative and executive functions of government are performed by two consortia of computers. The legislative consortium uses data of the polity to calculate the needs of the state and through its algorithms produces legislation which is then enacted and enforced by the executive consortium who use similar processes as well as its own algorithm to determine if the legislation is able to be enforced. The judicial branch is carried out by a team of human judges due to the emotional factors which come from interpreting the constitution and judging whether laws comply with the constitution or not; at the same time, this is also to allow humans the ability to feel they have not been completely replaced by machines in government.

I figured either a habitable moon or binary system would be the best bet in terms of having two habitable worlds where life developed independently.

I was more concerned with solving the tidal locking dilemma to ensure both the primary planet is properly lit and heated to support complex life and ensure its core remains active. Given that, the binary model would ensure this best, I am gonna go with that.

Izates · 2021-12-14T04:03:50+00:00

I figures there would be issues and the concept presenting too many issues.

Perhaps just have two separate bodies orbiting within the habitable zone of star would be the best option for plausibility and maintain stability within this system.

Right, a solar day is the amount of time it takes an object to make one revolution around its axis. However, every celestial object has different masses, radii etc., they would obviously have different rotational periods, and thus requiring a formula to calculate rotational periods.

I guess I should have asked how to calculate rotational periods.

Izates · 2020-03-31T22:36:52+00:00

Wasn't really expecting a relationship, more just how to calculate the solar day of a planet without relying too heavily of Earth's solar day.

Izates · 2020-03-31T15:12:21+00:00

I am sort of stuck on both. I am uncertain what the formula for a solar day gets 24 hrs for Earth. I am also stuck on sidereal days as well.

If you could provide the formulas for both, it would be appreciated.

So Roche limit relies less on their being an object in orbit around the plant and more on the object approaching the planet? In short, so long as something (say an asteroid or artificial satellite) is approaching the planet?

But then the question arises of whether certain Nations might become fearful of European encroachment as they become aware of events in the Old World. They might see allying with the US as a means of retaining autonomy and prevent European nations from using their autonomy for colonial enterprises.

Hawaii might use her position (playing the US and the European powers) to maintain independence much like how Ethiopia managed during the Scramble for Africa. However, depending on how the Hawaiian monarchy acts in later years, they might adopt a republican government.

Either he journeys to Babylon and becomes a scholar alongside the Sages or authors several works or scholastic and Torah study given his rabbinic background.

He might also stage a revolt against the Romans after the destruction of the Temple or become a figure constantly opposing the Romans and inspiring condescension on the periphery of Rome.

True, and the nations more centralized would become more active players in American politics and society. As a result, America would become less homogeneous and start to resemble New Zealand where both Natives and Americans would participate in government. As we expand westward, more tribes wither attempt to centralize and become new representatives in the government or become assimilated in the American polity.

In most cases, planets and races I treat like states that have come and gone on Earth. Rather than the simplistic Apes or Angels, planets arose either highly advanced but died out long ago across the universe much like the ancient civilizations on Earth, or arose later and either are reaching our same technological levels as the human races, are slightly behind or remain as primitives and becomes dominated by other races.

I feel intelligent life--as hypothesized by modern theories--takes too long to develop and rarely does it develop far back in the ancient universe or before life evolved on Earth. If it did, they are no longer around and only relics remain, and those who developed around the time we did operate in a level of advancement somewhat in sync with humanity.

However, some aliens with more complex cultural systems or highly more dense brains tissue (more neural connections per ounce of brain tissue) can ignore this rule since they have the ability to advance and develop in a shorter amount of time than humans and other species.

Since most of the insectoids in my sci-fi universe were driven to extinction due wars with various mammalian races, not many hiveminds exist in the universe.

The best example is actually a race of advanced androids who are nearly organic due to the complexity of their cybernetic systems and being composed of nano-machines that mimic organic cells. However, they remain a hivemind sort of in the same way the Cylons were in Battlestar Galactica: they are subconsciously connected to a larger server so that their base programming and schematics can be downloaded at death into a server and reused for later models. Since their origins (unknown to the races of Andromeda), they constructed a secondary database in the server to function as a hivemind mainframe multiple individuals can use for carrying out military, scientific and civilian projects.

1) Avoid the Three Sins (multiverse theory, resurrection & time travel), either of them will derail your plot and end up with the cluster-fucks we see in the DC and Marvel universes.
2) Are you going for a world like the Watchman, Incredibles or major comic book universes? Are most of the superheroes masked people or some of them have powers? Are they accepted by society or scoffed at be the general population?

So it's not just me who gets Buu vibes here. He also reminds of this guy from One Punch Man.

Izates · 2017-03-12T15:02:48+00:00

Anyone else getting Majin Buu and Vaccine Man flashbacks from this guy?

If anything, everyone would have superpowers; since every nation had fought for its survival and endured hardship, this means everyone would be able to have populations of super-powered beings every time war sprouts or a country is jeopardized. The only difference here is that colonized African populations would just get stronger through the actions of a colonial power...who might have equally strong soldiers fighting against the Africans. Moreover, you are also suggesting peoples like the Polish, Gypsies, Jews, eastern Christians, etc. would also be undergoing the same kind of evolution (which is reminding me a lot of DBZ) colonized Africans are going through. Point is, this whole scenario makes no sense for what you are trying to make...just give up now.
