a battle to end all battles
I'm Sorry oh great dov, but i think this brings up more arguments than it dispells

Re: a battle to end all battles
Actually, I stopped watching after the Intrepid-class ship photon torpedoed the AT-AT.

Re: a battle to end all battles
You can say that about nearly any science fiction series. You may be able to come up with a very few that completely obey physics, but they're pretty bloody rare.Tiel wrote:I know.

Are you interpreting my comments as insults? I'm sorry, I didn't mean them them to be inflammatory or anything..

Take Element zero.
It´s what? 0 protons? Is that even an element?
..now i´m confused...

To be honest, tachyon would make more sense...Prototype wrote:Probably just a neutron, or instead of protons and electrons its sigmas and muons or somethingIvan2006 wrote: Example for lolphysics: Mass Effect.

Or Axions, Gravitinos or Axinos. Even Higgsinos would make sense, but...
Wait. Did you just say "single neutron" ?
would make sense... maybe.

Re: a battle to end all battles
An element without protons is called neutronium. It's not real, but it's close enough. That's a fairly common element (if you'll excuse my pun) in science fiction.

Re: a battle to end all battles
An element without protons would just be neutrons, neutronium would just be a cluster of neutrons, not technically an element, but does exist, though it may not have the properties it has in sci fi, theoretically it can become so dense it's force of gravity exceeds the strong force, causing it to become a black holeLast_Jedi_Standing wrote:An element without protons is called neutronium.

And the hell is a gravitino, that's like a smaller version of gauge boson, which is rather useless/preposterous

Re: a battle to end all battles
A gravitino is to gravity what a photon is to electromagnetic waves.

Re: a battle to end all battles
Do you mean a graviton? A photon is an electromagnetic... Well wave, or particle (or both), but it is the gauge boson for the electromagnetic force, a graviton is the gauge boson of gravity (or so we believe, we don't actually know)Ivan2006 wrote:A gravitino is to gravity what a photon is to electromagnetic waves.
I think you mean graviton, a gravitino would be to a graviton what a neutrino is to a neutron, it would be useless, but if the graviton does indeed exist, then a gravitino could be possible, but it would be very useless, and we would never find it
