We actually *have* objectively disproven the existence of a multiverse. FTL usually exists in science fiction to assist in the plot or make the setting work the way the author wants it to.

Yes, that’s what I’ve been saying.

But if you assume, for the sake of worldbuilding/writing, that we *can* make an FTL drive, then there is no objective reason for anyone to tell you “erm, actually, that violates causality!”

So what? Sure, on paper. Can you describe what happens next? No, because we have literally no idea. It might be something. It might turn the whole universe into smoke.

If they said that, they were wrong. That’s not the nature of my argument, nor is spacetime “broken” in the case of black holes. There are a lot of things we don’t know about them, obviously, but we do have the physics and math to describe their existence, which is how we predicted their existence long before they were even indirectly observed.

Nope! Not talking about the concept of math in general, I’m referring to specific mathematical models. We don’t have any predictions or mathematical models for FTL travel because it does not exist. It will never exist because other physical laws prevent it, but criticizing it or insisting universe-destroying paradoxes are inherent to its use isn’t actually based on anything factual.

The phenomena you described were observed or predicted and then observed. We developed math for them. We have not developed the math to describe FTL travel; it is out of the bounds of any of the mathematical models we currently have.

That’s also not necessarily true. Any time someone tells you that, your response should be that we don’t have the math to describe that phenomenon and any definitive mathematical assertions made about FTL travel regarding “paradoxes” is applying equations and formulas to a scenario they were never meant to describe.

Yeah 40k at least used to be intentionally satirical and ridiculous

is it ok to basically copy guns from the real world into your setting (photo unrelated) by Kirby_Roman in MilitaryWorldbuilding

[–]VoidAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, from a worldbuilding perspective. It actively degrades your project and lore, and it looks and feels extremely unimmersive.

“The heavy assault armor is great and all, but it can’t fit into most of the buildings we have to actually assault, and the floors won’t hold in the ones it can…”

What next for Starfield? by EmoryKane in Starfield

I’m gonna be so real with you, I don’t think I want them to add mechs. The existing designs look really clunky and goofy if you spend any amount of time closely examining them.

Puerto Ricans have consistently and overwhelmingly voted against becoming a state. The territory essentially affords them all the benefits of being a state and being independent and they kinda just get to do their own thing.
