dendros's latest activity
-
Ddendros replied to the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept?.Well, finitism by definition is the negation of infinity.
-
Ddendros replied to the thread Spacetime manipulation vs a fall..Now, I'm curious: what effects would such an impact have on the planet, given the above conditions? Would it be comparable to an...

Ddendros replied to the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept?.Well, that is not my objection but of those who reject infinity in math. They seem to conflate our limits with math's limits.
-
Ddendros replied to the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept?.I don't understand why is infinity a problem. Sure, it is not intuitive and sometimes it complicates things. But to negate the infinity...
-
Ddendros replied to the thread Spacetime manipulation vs a fall..The spacetime "bubble" generated by the warp core of the vessel is what dictates geometry. You can say the energy of the warp core...
-
Ddendros replied to the thread Spacetime manipulation vs a fall..You missed the quotes. It was a figure of speech. If I say "the spacetime metric around the vessel is forcefully preserved so that...
-
Ddendros replied to the thread Spacetime manipulation vs a fall..Well, in GR spacetime is something that is deformed by matter and energy. And theoretically such deformations can allow ftl travel (the...
-
Ddendros replied to the thread Spacetime manipulation vs a fall..Not exactly this. The hull is not "immune to almost anything" and not exactly in a stasis field. Rather, it is in a region of spacetime...
-
Ddendros replied to the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept?.Considering that the set of integers (which are the simplest math entities) is infinite, I would say that yes, infinity is necessary in...
-
Ddendros replied to the thread Spacetime manipulation vs a fall..@Matterwave, notice the quotes around "rigid". Basically I'm saying the warp bubble preserves the geometry enclosed by it, in that sense...
-
Ddendros replied to the thread Spacetime manipulation vs a fall..Of course this is fiction but I want to give it at least a semblance of realism. The high G's are not a problem, inside the sphere are...

DLet's imagine a scifi scenario in which a space vessel is falling on a planet due to a degraded state but remains functional enough to...
