Re: Compartments making bosses a bit too tough?

@sun1404: Destroyers are actually slightly vulnerable to kinetic. You don't need more than 12 shots of 13 kinetic to take down an armor segment (75hp x2 due to level and vulnerability). @AssumedPseudonym: Then it would have taken 100 (compartment)+20 (slightly inconsistent shooting of a segment)+5 (...

Compartments making bosses a bit too tough?

I noticed just now in a 1.2 playthrough that my +30 enhanced smartcannon (13 damage/hit) seemed to do almost nothing to Heliotrope Destroyers (burning through hundreds of rounds to get that kill), so I run a few tests in 1.3 using the G.O.D. mod. Seems that it takes around 250 (+-30) rounds (or 3000...

Re: Particle Physics Isn't That Hard Actually

If the answer is no then the statement The answer is sortof rather than a straight no because of what it means to observe something. Hint: entanglement Your all embracing sweeping statement merely verifies you won't even consider the idea. You haven't actually proposed an idea. You need to actually...

Re: Particle Physics Isn't That Hard Actually

Are you saying that whey you make the observation that you find the cat inside and with the exact same observation you find the cat outside? Sortof but no. For a complete answer I refer you to the MIT OCW (yes, maths is involved, but not particularly complicated maths). Don't try wikipedia or anyth...

Re: Particle Physics Isn't That Hard Actually

Thanks for showing us that your scientific theories are just a bag of bullshit. You claim that Einstein didn't really know what he was talking about nor the people at NIST, publishing their results in one of the most respected scientific journals. You claim they are wrong and you understand it bett...

Re: Particle Physics Isn't That Hard Actually

If scientists are trying to disprove what they think then why do people still believe in time dilation? The classic example of how this works (moving parallel lines with the a signal bouncing between them) does not show time dilating but rather shows that the medium through which the signal moves i...

Re: Particle Physics Isn't That Hard Actually

In the process of reading. I don't think I'm going to learn anything new here but just in case. How much have you read since then and did you learn anything? In the mean time I would like to also know why you don't think I'm getting it. In the case of probability theory as extended logic it was you...

Re: Particle Physics Isn't That Hard Actually

So far it seems like you don't think I understand much so I would suggest starting there. Think about the most basic concept you don't think I'm getting, ground up. Explain as you would a child. The hard part is actually explaining why a concept I don't think you're getting is relevant, but to answ...

Re: Particle Physics Isn't That Hard Actually

Compile what you like. What I'd like would be to get some links/book names for you that would explain things you don't know while not dwelling on things you do. That requires me to know how much you know, fastest way for that is your background, ie. science degree? Worked in scientific domain? Insu...

Re: Particle Physics Isn't That Hard Actually

I'm thinking of compiling some references for you on this subject.
What's you background so I can know what to include?

Re: What was your first time like?

I think my first game was with 0.96 or earlier. I think I used a Wolfen. My first death was (somehow) to meth enforcers (how I survived that long is a mystery)! Lots of resurrecting came later. I thought the first Sung Fortress pair I ran into (whose Steel Slaver escorts were fighting with a nearby ...

Re: Actually threatening/dangerous enemies?

Ah, Wind Slavers used to have four segments? That explains why I don't find them as difficult any more (I'd assumed I'd just gotten better :lol: ). Still threatening, just not "OMG, I'm gonna die!" any more. Maybe I should also add "accidentally ticked off Ferians" (a Sung Citadel near a Ferian nest...

Re: Particle Physics Isn't That Hard Actually

Vachtra, you're using terms like "speculation", "prove" and "fact". In an uncertain world it is impossible to say that a statement is true (predictive of observation/models reality) with a hundred percent certainty*, so what do you mean by these terms? Are you familiar with probability theory as ext...

Re: Particle Physics Isn't That Hard Actually

I wonder if we're looking at the same post... "Rhetoric without substance"? "Ignoring what I actually said"? Me "attacking" you? "Need a dictionary"? (I used google's dictionary for 'speculation') And your wrap up... yikes. You say you understand my position/background and that I don't understand yo...
