AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of a shapeshifter capable of manipulating physical reality, including light and gravity, while remaining undetectable to cameras and witnesses. It raises questions about potential tools to measure environmental changes resulting from such manipulation, including the possibility of detecting nuclear reactions. The conversation also explores the implications of bending light and gravity, suggesting that significant environmental changes, like the rapid appearance of a wormhole, could occur. The relationship between energy conservation and the shapeshifting process is examined, hinting at the involvement of tachyonic technology. Ultimately, the discussion acknowledges that shapeshifters are fictional, and any speculation about their mechanics remains in the realm of imagination.

Let's say you come across a shapeshifter who can manipulate physical reality and particles using some kind of force, perhaps bending light and gravity at a ridiculously quick rate. The shapeshifter is also really good at avoiding cameras and witnesses, so you can never really see the shapeshifting occur unless the shapeshifter wants you to see the shapeshifting occur.

Would there be some kind of tool that you could use to measure a change in the environment? Perhaps some way of seeing if a nuclear reaction occurred?

Also, if a shapeshifter could bend light, gravity, and particles, wouldn't there be a significant environmental change, such as a wormhole appearing quite rapidly?

From what I've research on wormholes, bending light, and manipulating gravity, it's as though a wormhole would appear. I'm thinking if a shapeshifter was relying on some fundamentals of physics, such as the conservation of energy, then there would be a lot of energy involved in the reaction for the shapeshifter to completely change his or her physical appearance. Would something like this go into the realm of tachyonic technology?

A shapeshifter is imaginary and any guess at how it would be done would also be imaginary.
 
Man, when the Devil comes a-knockin', he does not smell of sulphur and brimstone, he smells of sweet perfume and roses... Doing a bit of research for a short story. All I wanted was some examples of professions typical for jurors in a trial of the time and location of the story (1850s New Orleans - of which I am not very familiar, so I have my work cut out for me). ChatGPT delivered that very nicely, giving me a list of a dozen typical professions for the type of man that was eligible for...
Saw Mickey 17, a sci-fi comedy, based on Mickey 7, by Edward Ashton, which I read and thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed. I am fascinated by stories of identity and the meaning of selfness. Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattison - of 'Sparkly Vampire' infamy) is running from a loan shark and, to escape the price on his head, signs up for an off-world trip to a new colony. The only way he could get selected is as an 'Expendable' - which is exactly what it sounds like: he gets all the suicide missions...
So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies. How much material is it pulling from the Dune books (both the original Frank Herbert and the Brian Herbert books)? If so, what books could fill in some knowledge gaps?
