So you are saying that when these ships are moving at subluinal speed that you use kinetic energy to move them. Where to start whith what’s wrong with that from a physical point of view?
I would be, yes. I would be far more gulliable if I believed anything that you said, though.
You mean “yes”, here, not “no”. After all, that is what I said.
So sea level is no longer a global constant? How did you manage that? Are you going to tell me that what we know about gravity is wrong, too? Unless the water’s on a serious slope, would that not mean that Dover is now landlocked with Calais, seeing as they’re about 25 miles apart?
Oh, BTW, you’d still have a lot of water unaccounted for. So, what happened to the extra water?
Um, so you’re just going to rely on fuzzy 8-year recollections of events, when you could have a real, tangiable physical record? Wow, citing and standards of evidence must be a lot more lax in your time, too.
Ah-ha.
So, do you want a biscuit?
You did a quick very bad essay, with difficulty conveying ideas and very simple basic factual errors. You’re supposed to be an expert in this time period, you had completely free choice regarding what to write about, you chose one of the most famous events of the 20th Century and yet still got very simple things wrong. Not exactly impressive.
Because they do not exist. This has to be your least convincing tack yet; pretending things exist when they don’t and the evidence of their non-existence is there, plain as day, for all to see. I may have been too generous in thinking that you were 16 or so, as this tactic usually goes out of favour with people by the time they hit double figures.
Well, you can add neuroscience to the list of things that you don’t know enough about to bluff it in. Still, why don’t you tell us which 10.79% that is? And why did you say that we only use 10.79% of our brains if that’s not what you meant? Adn why are scientists trying to increase this figure if the rest of the brain is used for other things? What functions of the brain are people prepared to sacrifice for more memories?
So why is the new “light speed” supposedly “easier for everyone”?
Not even an excuse? Not good enough. I think people can tell that the real thing you’re saying here is “I’ve dug myself into enough deep holes that I don’t think I can get out, so I’m going to stop doing this for a while and hope that people forget”. Well, you know, I’m still going to ask the questions you’ve avoided. If for no other reason than for fun, and so that it’s all here, plain for all to see.
30, now. One might almost think that you don’t know the answers…
Actually, this is one of the things that I didn’t bother commenting on, but that is also indicative of how Chrono is not a historian. The way the story is written, it could simply be that the man left his home without enough money in his pocket to pay for the shoes that he wanted to purchse. Wheras the actual point of the story is that he had plenty of money to buy the shoes, but by the time he got there the Mark had devalued so much that all he could afford is coffee. Maybe something like this:
Of course, that kind of anecdotal illustration is common to historians, but the story is most likely bunk. I mean, did the Germans have constant updates on the value of the Mark, or is it more likely that they adjusted their prices every day?
