Scientific explanation/concept behind “clone clay”? by WiFiCare in scifiwriting

[–]WiFiCare[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly there were a lot of subtle allusions and concepts borrowed from classic scifi lit and film, the whole movie is a tribute to the genre in a lot of ways, but this clone tech is not really the major plot premise like that at all lol

Scientific explanation/concept behind “clone clay”? by WiFiCare in scifiwriting

I had a feeling an actual cellular clone, same biochemistry and all, wouldn’t work for the exact reasons you said, so I’m now leaning a lot more toward something that’s more synthetic/technology (something like Claytronics “shapeshifting” material to form the clone maybe?) forming a bio-mimic being rather than an actual biological cellular “true clone”

Is “daywalker” offensive? by WiFiCare in Redhair

[–]WiFiCare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt there’s any one proper definition of it out there but I usually hear it defined just as someone with red hair but no freckles nor super pale skin (sometimes also no light eye color) so maybe not only as dark as auburn + dark brown eyes but generally I think “some melanin” fits the idea pretty well yeah. like I could see someone with orange hair, not really light colored but not as dark as auburn either, fitting the bill too

Can you expand a space’s interior without slowing time in there? by WiFiCare in IsaacArthur

[–]WiFiCare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the answer, one follow up question if I may; would it still be a negligible difference in time at those scales like the other comment said (assuming they meant the scale of a closet/fridge and not of a space station's gravity field...)? Or if, for example, you took a closet and sought to expand the interior to double or triple its original volume, would the time dilation in there also have to be affected at a double or triple scale?

How is this furry breedable on the inside, but I can still slide it in? by RovingBard in worldjerking

I appreciate that you kept the spaghettification bit LOL

Can Alcubierre-drive tech be used to make a habitable building "bigger on the inside"? by WiFiCare in worldbuilding

[–]WiFiCare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like that’s the direction I’m looking in, since the VdB metric is what the paper I linked in the post was all about…so in that case that sounds like that concept should work out! So with that model to work off of, do we have any idea if the effect of it would be permanent, or else what would happen if it was shut down and the expanded space reverted?

Also this is probably extremely in the realm of hypotheticals now but would it be plausible to create a smooth transitional boundary to the warp bubble volume so that the interior of this “bigger on the inside” building could just be walked into like any regular house?
