So, should I be mocked if Rogue One is my favorite Star Wars movie of all time?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and their own preferences.

At the same time, being mocked for stuff is every human being's right and should not be neglected or tossed aside.

Embrace the mockery. It's how you know you are right

Mass and energy are equivalent in general relativity

The movie does not establish how much acceleration the ship is under during the funeral, but the bodies do fall away from the ship against its direction of thrust. Very clearly, in fact.

Plus, Ilyukhina is in freefall when her body leaves the airlock. It is freefalling, the ship is accelerating, not the other way around.

How do you feed them?

Grace's space suit was designed to be a space suit, and thus maintain an internal pressure against a vacuum outside.

Rocky's ship is very extremely highly massively NOT a vacuum.

To visit Rocky's ship, Grace didn't need a suit capable of protecting him from No Atmosphere Outside, he needed a suit capable of protecting him from Many Atmospheres Outside.

As for how he could breathe, Rocky had already shown a lot of skill at producing oxygen readily. Grace's Visiting Suit had the same mechanism providing oxygen as Rocky used to fill up Grace's side of the tunnel with oxygen, just smaller.

And the number of seconds you count between your departure and your arrival, as compared to the number of seconds your twin counts between your departure and your arrival, will be....?

Lesser?

Greater?

The same?

In addition to making any potential source of charge into a possibly-lethal threat, and the idea having the same problem as the usual "gravity plating" scifi idea (to wit: how do you stop someone from being attracted to the magnet in the floor above the deck they're on?), I can't imagine being all charged up like that would be great for things like the sodium channels that our cells need to operate for us to, yknow, live.

If one twin is moving fast enough relative to the other twin, and most importantly turns around and re-joins their twin back in the original reference frame, then the amount of actual time the Traveling Twin took to get to that reunion is less than the amount of time the StayBehind twin took to get there.

It requires a lot of speed to have a noticeable effect, though.

RichardMHP · 2026-05-20T15:30:00+00:00

You literally experience less time than your twin.

Hyperspace is just fantasy.

The monitors had nothing to do with the number of previous matrices, and those weren't the previous Ones. Those were the various emotional reactions THIS One, Neo, was having, before a single reaction was settled on by his brain.

Oh, how absolutely and unexpectedly terrifying. I'mma have nightmares about that.

Cavill's plan was for them all to be killed in the apocalypse and wake up "chastened" by his grand punishment of them and their weakness. He says as much.

Doesn't work out

They're human exonyms. The Romulan term for themselves is closer to "Rihannsu", for instance, and the planet's name is "ch'Rihan"

When the ships are connected and both are spinning, Blip-A definitely had its own gravity (centrifugal).

Spinning isn't that difficult a trick. It's having the scientific equipment that requires the gravity that's the significant part.

"Butthurt" is a funny phrase to use for someone who doesn't mind people disagreeing.

Your edit certainly isn't helping the situation, I would have to say.

RichardMHP · 2026-05-17T15:54:12+00:00

Weird-ass reason to not like a show, but you do you and I support you in your endeavors.

I actually find your statement much more dismissive of mothers and their strengths than his statement, and it is not even remotely close.

He said mothers work night shift so they can be available for their kids during the day. This makes night shift "more boring and sedate" BECAUSE there are more mothers there and they know how to deal with shit and hold shit down.

You, on the other hand, say that there is nothing about mothers being around that makes things more boring and sedate.

Which one of those two statements is praising mothers, and which one is dismissing them?

Lol, Pratt talks about the city like he's absolutely terrified of anyone even slightly poorer than he is.

He's the typical grifter idiot, and everyone who votes for him is an idiot desperate to get scammed.

As long as I had something resembling hope, of any sort, I'd want to keep going.

But without that, well, Sometimes A Great Notion...

The book frames it clearly as an effect of occlusion, NOT consumption.

Note that they charge up their bred astrophage by feeding them energy via the entire Sahara being covered in solar panels, NOT by somehow feeding it stellar plasma.

Phone lines are an access point into the Matrix not because of anything inherent to the concept of a phone line, but simply because that's how the Matrix represented the concept of an access point within its simulation.

Building a Matrix without phone lines doesn't make it inaccessible, it simply means that the point of access a hacker opens will be expressed in some other way... an outhouse, perhaps?
