QED. The comic book visual of a "being of pure energy" tends to be some sort of ethereal, radiating body. The body appears to be made of light. But really, you only know what it's made of by the light that reaches your eyes, and the physical system that looks most like that is actually extremely hot gas. Grab a body-shaped piece of the Sun, and it'd look like the usual "being of pure energy" visualization. Unfortunately, that's matter, not energy (neglecting the fatuous argument above). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, September 26 2007 10:00 Profile Homepage #195 In the language of relativity, we localize something in the universe in space-time via four coordinates (x,y,z,t). "Outside the universe" can presumably be defined as "not describable by those coordinates" — which means that it doesn't make sense to speak of spacial directions or a time direction. The usual layman's way of conceptualizing something outside the universe is just to imagine a discontinuity: there's something else just like the universe, but it's not connected to the universe somehow — maybe we can teleport to it or something. If so, we could imagine a completely separate set of axes for that gob of space-time beyond the discontinuity, and you might be able to speak of there being a sort of time for that separate place. There is no evidence for such a thing, but I suppose it is possible.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, September 26 2007 06:21 Profile Homepage #191 quote: Originally written by Stillness: So, "time didn't start until the universe did" means "time didn't start for this universe until the big bang." That's cool, but just doesn't seem to be a very information-laden statement. All it says is that the universe didn't exist before it existed. You missed the point, I think. I was explaining why this is actually a non-trivial statement. Scientists used to think that the universe didn't have a beginning: it had always existed and would always exist. Now we're pretty sure it did have a beginning. This surprised people (not anyone who believes in creation, obviously, but it surprised scientists). If you want to postulate something eternal outside the universe, you first have to define time outside the universe, which turns out to be non-trivial as well. Current scientific understanding — and this is now brushing up against the edges of current research, so who knows, but it's the best we've got right now — is that it only makes sense to speak of time within the universe, as SoT said.

That is of course assuming you have the problem with the eternal. And also making the big fat assumption that the universe we think is expanding is the universe and there is nothing else. Well, science fundamentally has no problem with eternity. The Steady state theory for the history of the universe was widely considered possible for a good, long while. It wasn't until the discovery of the CMB that the concept of an eternal universe no longer seemed tenable. COBE, WMAP, and the like have made it much harder to oppose the Big Bang model. But there's nothing inherently wrong with hypothesizing that something exists that is infinite in a time dimension, at least until the evidence starts to disagree with it, as it has begun to do now.

At some point you either come to an infinite cause or an infinite progression of finite ones, which is still brings you to eternity. Eh, or you redefine time, which seems to be the real way to escape the problem. (I'm reminded here of what statistical mechanics does to the concept of "temperature," which is kind of the same thing that serious cosmology has to do to the concept of "time.") -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, September 24 2007 06:33 Profile Homepage #160 It's worth noting that part of the problem, as I understand it, is getting good data in the relevant regimes. It's pretty hard to get good data on the singularity of a black hole, because it's well inside the event horizon, and pretty much nothing gets out of the event horizon. It's also pretty hard to get good data on the first few tiny fractions of a second after the Big Bang, because most of our good data on the early universe comes from stuff like the CMB radiation, which is from hundreds of thousands of years after the Big Bang. Also, it's pretty hard to get into a lab and test the circumstances under which GR and QFT would have to work together, because the relevant energy scales are enormous. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, September 16 2007 06:22 Profile Homepage #10 quote: Originally written by Nikki xx: quote: As for timers, you can’t have one run for more than 255 moves if you do it by incrementing a flag, unless you use two flags and some fancy footwork. I struck heaps of problems with timers when I ported the Exile scenario River and Leaf to the Avernum world, in particular the On the Dacgban zones. They are tough if you want to have two running at the same time. Use a variable if that's the case - these can go much higher than you should ever need. Of course, if you go outdoors, save, and reload, variables die. Flags are more reliable. I never use variables for anything that I want saved beyond the immediate tick. Using two flags to keep track of time is clunky, but it works. I don't mind clunky. I mind impossible. The string limit makes enumerating every possible text response more problematic than one might at first expect (e.g. it proved impossible to list every stored monster in the Soul Crystal in Exodus in the fashion I was attempting). It is impossible to remove items from a store once they are added, which is the major barrier to a random item shop and proved annoying also in the HLPM. As I recall, we had a pretty serious discussion about calls that should be added, back in the day. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The degree is important, not so much what it's in, for what I'm going to be doing. I find it funny that people think my science degree (Astrophysics) is more practical than my humanities degree (Classical Languages). A B.A. in Astro is useless for a getting a job, except in that it's a B.A., which a B.A. in Classical Languages is, too. To get a job in astronomy, you really should have at least an M.A. or a Ph. D., and an M.A. or Ph.
