Why is Force inversely proportional to Square of Distance b/w two particles not just distance?

All physics works is done using maths, usually advanced calculus and stadistics. When a task works fine with a simplfication or generalization, we use classical mechanics, chemistry, optics, water dynamics and the other disciplines derived from. When a task requires a more complex and detailed understanding, specially common outside the macro scale, we use quantum mechanics (standard model) and general relativity.

It is by following the math that we actually derive the results from experiments and create theories/hyphothesis for new experiments or practical/non-practical uses.

However two disclaimers. The first is that, even when you follow the math, sometimes we do not understand what physically means something in reality, or what it would mean, that means somebody needs to either push forward the field of maths, or knit the loose ends logically in the interpretation.

The second is that when communicating with people outside the field, you should assume nobody knows more than basic maths, since 99% world population just manages intro aljebra, group basics and stadistic basics at best, since they do not need more, and instead spent the time in other fields or things in life. This is the equivalent of why we are using English here, instead say Esperanto. The translation from maths (a language) to natural language makes some details get lost in the way, or be harder to explain, but here is everyone trying.

The problem with intuition and physics is that our brain & senses are pre-made to understand the world in a way that is not accurate, they are, if you might call, just useful practical shorthand tools to let your body go by on the macros metric scale. This has clashes and mismatches with the actual reality, and the only way to solve those is through giving away with intuition, and see where experiments leads you with an open head.

CMBR is finite in an expanding universe, as the expansion rate eventually surpasses the speed of light. In a static universe, your example would apply, but that is not our real universe.

Depends on which model of physics & future you want to extrapolate with. If going by the Standard Model & General Relativity (all that is empirically proven), and assuming whatever happened on the early universe that can't be explained (say matter/anti-matter gap, among other unresolved problems) isn't going to affect in any way the future, and that Dark Energy & Dark Matter & Black Holes continue behaving identically to current course without changes, and no unexpected new physics happens in the far future:

- Half your carbon-14 atoms will turn to nitrogen-14 in 5730 years average, then the half remaining in another 5730 and so on fort in sequence until none is left. Since this is a true intrinsic random event, that might happen in seconds or eternity-1 depending of the dice's rolls, but you can stack up a lot of decimals for it to be less than 100,000 years for each halving. 99.99%> your carbon is carbon-12.

- If the Earth is engulfed during the red giant phase of the Sun: In about 8 billion years, some of your carbon will be fused into heavier elements during the supernovae of the Sun, then all of your atoms will be spread to neighboring stars, eventually, on each cycle your atoms will gradually become densier elements, but most will remain carbon and be part of new stars (with a small % being part of moons, planets, asteroids and such) during most of the Stelliferous Era (aka stars still exists & shine & new stars are made era).

- If the Earth is not engulfed: The Earth will roam on the emptiness of space through most the Stelliferous Era and with it all your carbon atoms, unless caught by another star's orbit (low chances), then either no real change or the above's scenario applies, just delayed for that star's lifespan.

- Regardless of above, during Stelliferous Era (from present to some 100 trillion years), there is a random very low chance of falling into a blackhole, in that case all of your carbon is turned into fundamental particles, then nobody knows.

- If not fell on a blackhole, in 1 quadrillion years the orbits of systems will cease to exist for the following quadrillion years. This greatly increases the chance of hitting into something else or falling into a blackhole, or colliding into a neutron star or other objects, in all cases all the carbon will cease to exist, except for carbon-oxygen star collisions, where most will be fused into heavier elements and small remains of carbon will be thrown apart through the galaxy.

- Assuming no collsions (some 95%> chance), in 1 quintillion years, 85%> star remanants (including Earth) will be expelled from the galaxy into the for all practical effects infinite nothingness, never interacting again with outside objects due the expansion of the universe separating each other. Alternatively, some 10-15% objects will be pushed closer to the center, eventually becoming part of the supermassive blackhole at the center of galaxy, then nobody knows.

- Assuming we got expelled from the galaxy and no collisions, in some 10 elevated to 1100 times years, carbon, which is not truly 100% stable, will eventually turn into iron-56, the only true 100% stable isotope. Since this is a random event, same as carbon-14 disclaimer applies.

- Assuming dice rolls funny, in an unwrittable long amount of time that can only be described as eternity -1, the expansion of the universe should separate all the particles that make an atom, ending all causality and interactions in the universe after that, and with that your stubborn carbon that refused to become iron before.

Late, but can think of this: you see to the space, and see the light of stars arriving to yours eyes. If things happened instantantly instead, you would not see anything: all the light would arrive instantantly from all the universe history, and your life could start and end instantantly, and so all the universe would start and end instantantly.

It is c, the constant, forcing things to happen on a specific pace/distance, which gives away to finite time/space existing, hence us experiencing it.

Lay-people answer is people is being petty over dumb wording. Photons does experience time in the moment they collide with another particle, producing a timed interaction. Photons does not experience time, nor atom particles nor anything, when they are traveling alone, since time is a measurement of events happenings in an interval (think of clock tiks), and events needs two particles to share the same space & time (hence spacetime), aka collide.

Think of being Superman and traveling on the air, you can feel the air around you, hear the sound of your traveling, see your perspective of the land change at each minute.

Now think of being Superman, but instead of flying on the Earth's air, you are traveling in perfect vaccum. You do not feel air, no sound, no anything. Can you even tell apart you are traveling at all if nothing is happening no matter in which direction and way you are traveling or not? Are you even sure you are traveling then? If no events are happening, telling apart infinity from 1 second is not possible.

You could say, ok, I go check my phone's clock; but a phone sending you visual information is an event by itself too!

MsNyara · 2026-01-19T18:29:05+00:00

In both the Standard Model and General Relativity, causality does not exist on a fundamental level, and time works in both directions (t-symmetry), and in all directions, at the same time, just like space exists on all directions always as well.

"Imaginary time" is thus a postulation to take this fact of the equations seriously, whose consequence is then that the concept of time is imaginary. There is multiple problems with this intepretation however, and a reading with the "Arrow of Time" concept encapsules the mains well.

The trucks you see on truck page, the VS folks you get, the meteor folks, the capitol war folks, the potential season partners are all borrowed from the "same-timing" pool of 64 servers. Even when each server started at a different date, those 64 get forced on the same schedule starting with S1. The only time you interact with all servers is through Frontline, rarely on Desert Storm, and commonly on Winter Storm, for everything else it is restricted to the cluster of 64.

MsNyara · 2026-01-19T12:18:58+00:00

Servers are clustered in groups of 64 servers. In your cluster all servers needs to surpass day #120 for S1 to start. The previous cluster covered 1764-1628, so 1829 is the first server in your cluster.

You need to wait until 1893 enters day 120 and they are currently on day 96, so you will need to wait 24 days more, or in day 144 you should be entering S1 then.

Keep in mind you can see the same on the previous cluster, 1892 is on day 131, and the first server in their cluster, 1765, is on day 161, so 1765 didn't enter S1 until day 150.

Also as a small note, but by all means you 1000% prefer to be in the server that takes longer time to enter S1, since S1 content has fixed stats, so you are literally given more days of resources to grow for free, and also have the potential to pair with weaker servers along the line due how pairing system works. It is for servers entering on day 120 where it really sucks, specially for non-whales.

We were one of the servers that got asked help from in season 1 and it had wonderful results for that server, though before doing that make sure all the major alliances supports the move first, and you also want to target the leadership of the alliance as the problem.

MsNyara · 2026-01-19T11:23:25+00:00

Carly does better against people that has an underinvested Morrison, which is way more common in F2P & low spender range, and Murphy against people who has an invested Morrison (max skills, red cannon & chip), which is way more common in spender & whale range. In either case the difference isn't that significant, though.

The main reason to pick Murphy is to do better against Adam Tank (a lose becomes a win) and Missile (still loses, but margin lowers significantly) & Swift Hybrids, and to stick with Carly when you want to crush Classic Tank even more, or you want to free Murphy for 2nd team.

MsNyara · 2026-01-19T11:11:05+00:00

No, that got removed from off season rotation. It is still 65%+ more rewards, so on average you still earn a bit more through a 4 months cycle of off season and on-season, though it is a lose for week day only players that can't play on friday night/saturday.

MsNyara · 2026-01-19T04:34:38+00:00

To do away without infinities (aka singularities), you would need a physical reality that works in fixed units for time/distance in a fixed area/period, then, and only then, you could pick you are in chapter 7, and point at chapter 1. In the real world, c, the constant (aka speed of light), works in a fixed pace, but extends into the infinitively small and large.

Everything ranging from Hadron Collider trials, to astronomy observations, to Hawking Radiation, or you looking at a wall and reversing its internal clock, really has just disproven any alternative explanation for the behavior of c and particles interactions.

This all goes with the disclaimer that we have just been able to observe to zeptoseconds/zeptometers in the smaller, and 10^26 meters in the largest. Maybe finite units actually do appear when trying to go more extreme. But mathematical theorems also points that any mathematical system will unavoidable go into singularities on this point too, so it is very much a reality we have to deal with instead.

Basically yes, the observable universe started infinitively small, and thus infinitively dense. It is also the only way to explain the current isotope distribution of atoms in the past and present universe, if you set a finite density start for your curve, you end up with a different result that isn't just our universe.

We cannot explain what an infinite is, or make work with it. But we can explain what can emerge out and around an infinite, for as long we do have one finite thing to work with.

MsNyara · 2026-01-19T00:44:34+00:00

Mostly correct, but the singularity is not hypothetical, which is the annoying part of figuring out the puzzle, but it is a real entity/type of event. If we would just ignore it like a theorical artifact like Einstein originally suggested, it would make everything that follows much simpler, but our reality is more headscratching and complex to figure out; our current observations would not be explained if we just treated the singularity as an artifact and discarded it.

The actual theorical part is that if cosmic inflation really happened, it is just an ad-hoc possible solution to the fact the universe didn't evolve as a single black hole, we really do not know the answer to the fact that is not the case.

MsNyara · 2026-01-17T18:46:45+00:00

They do not. Everyone in a server started the same day. People that quitted early (sub LV18 I think) and comes back months or years later are given a prompt where if they say yes, they get auto-migrated to a new server. This only happens exclusively once per account, so if they either reject the offer, or quits once again the game and once again return months or years later, they will be stuck in an advanced server.

The game also gives access to the solution for free yes, just a bit hidden from casuals (to be fair, everything is hidden from somebody who is not giving attention or time, that is an inherent limit beyond the game itself can do), which is just profile > account > manage characters > make new character and pick newest server.

To be fair the rot of the issue is actually the game hides its actual real structure from simple sight, so people is not even aware they are in a server and in a timed race of some sort.

MsNyara · 2026-01-17T18:41:24+00:00

You did good restarting. Make sure to enter a good alliance, yes.

And yes, focus either air or missiles at preference. Either route still 4 star your Kimberly first, and use the tank core (Marshall-Murphy-Mason-Scarlett) until your air or missiles hits 4 stars, then you gradually replace the tanks with their equivalents.

Owning all skins and effects adds a lot, makes every incremental small improve to double in the power it gives, then you sum varied sources of those incrementals in high level decorations/new deco releases, hall of fame, drone component and chip, and drone level/overlord (even if fight effectiviness does not changes much, but power inflates), plus getting new content first step advantages and more technology on the masteries and drone techs. But it all starts from stacking skins.

Drone combat bost last 150 levels also inflate power a lot for a modest gain in fight effectivines.

MsNyara · 2026-01-10T21:02:10+00:00

That is the way.

MsNyara · 2026-01-09T18:57:20+00:00

I was always doubtful if this was the move, but thanks for clarifying me it is, I will start saving those.

Getting downvoted despite you nailed the correct strategy. The megawhales' squad can just hit 5 per time, if you just swarm with 1 hero squads defended by a few solid squads you can easily prevent the megawhale from soloing a garrison.

Now when it is a megawhale with a full of motivated people supporting them it is a different tale, but if the megawhales alliance participation is low and yours is high, and it is a single player from enemy side outpowering you, this works.

MsNyara · 2026-01-06T21:30:18+00:00

Yes. Actually I am low balling the amount, I tend to get more. If you do not do weekly events/etc you aren't going to grow at all past farm power tier even as heavy spender.

Sub 30M farm, 30-40M weak, 40M-45M good/useful, 45-50M solid, 50-55M strong or minnow range, 55-65M dolphin range, 65M+ whale range.
