    Art Exercise: Quintessence

    How does the aether work? For this to work we need a location (Universe) in which, somehow antimatter and matter are not permitted to react with each other either through some different cosmology, dimensional structure, or through a change in the fundamental forces. Examples of Sources: Eleven...

    Art Exercise: Quintessence

    Let's explore this. We know a number of things about this universe. We know it has a large energy density, perhaps effectively limitless energy density though it would be improbable that you could regulate that. You would blow up even with the most precise equipment. Surely though the energy...

    Art Exercise: Quintessence

    How can quintessence be a type of exotic matter and something so clearly defined then? It is clearly stated in the source material that: Aether is basically energy and/or an energized matter/anti-matter plasma that starts reacting as shortly after it's pulled out of the aether. Aether energy...

    Art Exercise: Quintessence

    We are testing three competing hypotheses and these have to do with fictional places (Aether) and/or fictional matter/energy (Quintessence). There is no real way to test these theories but... Occam's razor (also Ockham's razor; Latin: lex parsimoniae "law of parsimony") is a problem-solving...

    Art Exercise: Quintessence

    Music What is do we know about aether? The word is not unique to Star Army. I've seen it used before. In most fiction the Aether is a parallel or perpendicular plane residing in the same universe either overlaid with space-time and observable only through special circumstance or in a location...

    Art Exercise: Quintessence

    Let it be known that this is not a discussion per say though if you contact me privately I would be happy to collaborate with you. This is a personal exercise to both test my ability to hammer out pseudo-scientific rhetoric used in both common and uncommon fictional works and/or commonly...

    How Far Can We Go? Limits of Humanity.

    How far can we go? What are your predictions? We won't judge you. I'm of the type to think that we won't get off our rock. Its would be sad. That is just me. Media like this does make you think though. Don't let it get you down.

    Ripoff You Say? I Prefer Inspired By.

    The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones. - John Maynard Keynes Are there any new ideas? In this day and age when we have such a vast source of information at our fingertips can anyone say we have a truly original idea with no overlap? I'm new to...

    The Simulation Hypothesis

    Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream. Many works of science fiction as well as some forecasts by serious technologists and futurologists predict that enormous amounts of computing power will be available in the future. Let us...

    Second Battle of Toirmiscthe, Battle of the Berm

    Bomana Prime, Bomana System... He could hear the EDLCs hum to life as he sat in the heavy fighter. The artificial intelligence started to run checks. "Welcome pilot," said the synthesized female voice. "Begin systems check. Navigation systems online." The HUD came up. "Weapons online."...
