You don't say?! I would never have guessed, judging from Asta's avatar and ideas...

Don't tell ... but I was actually talking for my player ... he's a little slow!

I of course AM astrophysics ... and MORE!!!

Congrats Lore! Best of luck on it.

Well, see, some us don't have the food offerings like YOU get from your followers. We actually WORK for our keep.

For some reason, I have a fondness for Black Holes!!

[EDIT: WOW - this has VIDEO of this class!!!]

I read a fascinating article last month on black holes. Apparently they can be tuned to work as supercomputers. Only if you factor in Hawking radiation and quantum tunneling/teleportation.

Lore, you got Paul's attention with that one. Could you post a citation for the article for him to look up at UF's library?

Oh wow...

Many thanks!!

Waaay cool!!! I ordered the digital edition and the Black Hole special!!

BTW, Lore ... do actually understand the equations used?

I just created a Watch username for Paul. He had quite a few comments on the article, but no time to write them up now. He appears to have at least followed the equations, as he was a physics major for undergrad.

I am hopeful that maybe this will get him to post on the Watch...

Some of them. At this stage, my understanding of relativity in the equations is lacking. The article is heavy.

Four days left to vote for the Eschatology contest... only two votes came in thus far. Come on, don't be shy You don't need to have an entry in the contest in order to vote

But the black hole special addition of Scientific America is VERY readable ... thanks for posting!!

Don't know how else to put this, hope I'm not being rude or anything....

What's happening with The Fallen and Odal?

I have a horrible suspicion I've missed somethings important..?

Servants of Argothoth, who both gained from his work, if I'm understanding this right.

I think so ... Fallen is a Friend ... and Odal is a NPC beholden to Argothoth ... and effective frickin 20 DRP GOD!!

Regarding one of Nor Yekith's comments in the game. I understand people might take offense, but we're dealing with a malicious deity. I'm sorry if some people might take offense, but please understand this is fiction. Nor is identiftied with evil, so there is no way my comments condone his actions. I play Nor in such a way to make him utterly despicable. I can understand if some will take offense to that.

If you make them feel sick, you're doing a good job!
