Destruction of Earth

[Dab]

the reactionary mass of a star does determien the gravitational mass of its resulting black hole..or

So you're finally agreeing that size =/= mass?

Is that a yes?

You're a very aggressive little thing. Most related to a badger...or a wolverine. Always this hostile during debates?

I have an idea. It's a game. The Nomads possess OMGWTFBBQ weapons that can defy reality. They blew up a sun. It's cool. That's all.

cmon..we need people like you dab to mod the forum..dont jump


also..how did you get a 3rd story room?ive lived ground floor my entire life

Hah, as if living in the third story is bad. Second and third story are prime territory in college. High enough so you don't have to worry about people looking in your window while they walk by and low enough to use the stairs.

Sirius is only 8 light years from Earth, if the Earth was destroyed 800 years ago the light would have been seen ages ago.

Sirius the star is 8 light years from Earth. Sirius isn't a system in the Freelancer universe. Maybe the original Digital Anvil developers originally intended to refer to a larger sector centered around Earth named the Sirius Sector after the brightest star in the local area. (Edit:This is just speculation)

Here. Read this. Liberty Faction Overview. Obviously information you will find in this document conflicts with both Freelancer and Discovery Freelancer canon. But the author is Chris Todd, a writer for Freelancer..

EDIT: It's on the discovery wiki as being 500 light years away from Sol. http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Sirius

im talking about mass you dweeb..

eh...i think im done with ym rant ofr the night..


but yeah like mr. death said....we need something to correct the story conflicts here

ok...i think ill ask it here


assuming for the sake of argument that by a weird loophole in the laws of physics..a ship could use the help of a natural phenomenon to accelerate beyond the speed of light without warp engines...


what would happen?assuming for arguments sake that the pilot doesnt die in the first place

I'll quote Brian Greene in an excerpt from The Elegant Universe:

...Einstein's equation gives us the most concrete explanation for the central fact that nothing can travel faster than light speed. You may have wondered, for instance, why we can't take some object, a muon say, that an accelerator has boosted up to 667 million miles per hour - 99.5 percent of light speed - and "push it a bit harder," getting it to 99.9 percent of light speed, and then "really push it harder" impelling it to cross the light-speed barrier. Einstein's formula explains why such efforts will never succeed. The faster something moves the more energy it has and from Einstein's formula we see that the more energy something has the more massive it becomes....Since the mass of the muon increases without limit as its speed approaches that of light, it would require a push with an infinite amount of energy to reach or cross the light barrier. This, of course, is impossible and hence absolutely nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
