going FTL (faster than light) might be possible, and time travel to....blackholes are the extemely deadly (theorized) wormholes/fuzzballs/dark matter star/lots of other stuff i cannot get out of my head (DAMN THE WIKI cause i cant stop reading science stuff)

[RAM]

Pfft, time travel is easy. Time is just the progression of cause and effect(or the resolution of all things to a state that is less((or more, if you are going in the other direction)) stable, depending upon who/what/why you ask...) to destroy and create states. All you need is for a state to influence something that isn't a direct effect of it and you have an inconsistency in time. We know that this thread will result in a time-travelling dinosaur in tights and a cape. This fact will cause the version of us that are concurrent with this message being posted to develop our spikes to inject poison in preparation of having scales that will secrete poison which will, in turn, kill the little green man that stole our mask. This will result in a non-linear temporal progression, or time-travel...

you forgot something: [delta]S(universe)>0. Entropy. Second fucking law of thermodynamic.

SO long as I live, I will fight the impulse to create dinosaurs. To many times has this be the ruin of... well, surely it has been the ruin of something. So there.

[sayaks]

I travel through time... At the speed of 1 second per second.

Also if i move I'll go slightly slower through time.

thats why athletes live longer

And why cosmonauts are immortal!

[Ibid Straydrink]

And why a good run makes you have to use the water closet!

Okay, so can we get back on the topic of mounted laser beams?

[RAM]

Mounted? They are internally generated. Every cell in the body has its own laser emitter for coordination and energy transfer. There are hub cells that coordinate on a larger scale and crystallised cells that provide rigidity to the creature's form and serve as communication conduits between hub cells. if we need to defend ourselves then we just get every cell to generate its most damaging laser and coalesce them into a single beam that emanates from the crystal frame. Preferably this would be directed to an external vent in the frame, but it could be broadcast in almost any direction if we are desperate enough to sacrifice some of our own flesh...

It was a joke, since I had just finished designing a mountain laser and particle beam weapon system for my Pixel station forum game I just started, but I like the way you think

i vote for this.

dudes, a 1 MegaWatt laser will cost us roughly four and and a half freaking metric tons of glucose per second. and it isnt even remotely dangerous. All uses we can have for laz0rs at this point is optic-fiber brain and communication.

I had interesting discussion with karakzon, and we arrived to a concept of a computer-like brain, based on laser-emitting and receiving molecules. i'm lazy so you won't have the details yet, but with this we can make a brain at least as powerful as an ant's one, compacted in a space as small as a mitochondria. yes, an ant's brain may seem not very powerful, but this'll make a human brainpower all in a pea. imagine a 500cm^3 of this...

Interesting. Very interesting. Meaning you won't have to grow humongous to be an intelligent parasite...
