    Riddles

    The answer was:

    Olber's Paradox ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olbers'_paradox )

    And/or in terms of long answers, a universe where it holds true.

    Not this place, but another --- Hint that it's something hypothetical.

    Infinite and grander --- The size of it. Told you it's pretty literal :P

    My stars light up the sky --- Actual descriptions of the sky conditions :P

    But no life has ever seen them --- Hint that the conditions aren't good for life.

    Why?

    I said that the "parallel universe" answers were super close, however this is actually about a very specific case of them.

    It was actually a relevant cosmological thought experiment, long before any sort of quantum theory (so nothing to do with that), or inflation theory (so nothing to do with randomly generated physical constants). The reason I didn't feel comfortable with the "parallel universe" answers is because:

    a) it's not actually "parallel" to anything. ;)

    B) Someone can make an infinite amount of alternative universe just by having a "a little bit stronger gravity", or "a little bit weaker nuclear forces". However, none of them have been such an important point of reference, to even have their conditions summed up by a name. In fact, it somewhat depends on the physical laws not being too different, having only to do with size.

    Anyway,

    Starwhip can go next ^^

    "My stars light up the sky"

    "But no life has ever seen them"

    Gas Giants?

    They usually have a lot of "moons".

    But that's not related to Parallel Universes....

    What about "bubble universes"

    But they're not bigger than this one...

    What about

    Super Clusters, that forms our universe?

    It's huge, no one have ever seen them, they are consisted of galaxies that are formed by stars and so on.

    I'll edit this post later, when I come to a good answer

    Nope to all. :P

    Black holes? Whit holes? Gravioli particles? Strings from String theory? A universe edge? Pulsar? Quazar? Universe? Center of universe?

    N.n.n.n.n.n.n.nope. :P

    It's a parallel universe where life cannot exist due to physics based restrictions.

    Or a multiverse where life cannot exist.

    As I said, this is super close. However it is both a specific concept and with a specific name.

    When I what it is, y'all are going to look back into my riddle's phrasing and say "oooh... duh" :P

    Emptiness?

    Nope. :P

    Subatomic particles?

    They're small, no one can see them, they, together, can make everything, including stars that are bright, they also disappear and reappear randomly inside atoms, and they made all the infiniteness of the Cosmos.

    Nope :P

    it is in a universe that life cannot exist in due to certain physics based restrictions

    Super close, but believe it or not, you can actually get more specific.

    Darn. Subatomic particles seem to be the answer.

    If not, what about quantum mechanics?

    Nope :P

    Beyond the observable universe.

    Because the light from then havnt reached us yet.Beyond the observable universe.

    Nope. :P

    Starwhip

    The future for reasons above.

    Seems like rasheed may have won.

    Nope. :P

    To be honest the answer is fairly geeky. But there are two words that would be exactly 100% right. (longer explanations regarding the correct concepts will also be valid)

    I think even Cosmos did a brief mention to it in an episode, and I mean, brief.

    OK, here goes:

    I am the place where knowledge ends,

    And it shall remain so,

    For I can never be truly reached,

    Always out of reach, always further away.

    I was always explored by writings of all peoples,

    Yet, I was never touched, never felt,

    For I always back away,

    From all the living beings.

    What am I?

    Based on the post "which was closest", I says, "the unobservable universe".

    Aka, the part of the universe which is not causally linked with us, due to the speed of light's limit.

    Letters on the LV-N question.

    Ok, no need. I got it!

    For all those wondering about the answer.

    First I extracted this texture and took a look at it:

    Untitled_21.jpg

    As far as I can tell, this is the in-game texture's actual size mind you, so... yeah.

    However, after zooming in a bit and applying some advanced neural, noise reduction algorithms, (aka plenty of experience solving @£%!$ captchas), I am now quite sure it says:

    [ HOSE ATTACH POINT ]

    Letters on the LV-N question.

    Hello peeps ^_^

    I have been making my own LV-N texture, for a "high-res" LV-N model, and I have been trying to understand some of the the lettering on it.

    The N-86D is pretty clear obviously, but I just can't seem to make out what the yellow letters near the "long tube thing" thing.

    So, erm. Yea. Does anyone with superior fuzzy letter recognition skills and/or secret texture knowledges have any idea what is written there?

    I think that generally as a rule of thumb, if you have units and theories named after you, you have probably been good :P

    I find it kind of cool, that Tesla does have a unit named after him (The Tesla), long before he became a bit of an internet fad, but Edison doesn't.

    And it gives me a feel good feeling in a "all scum will eventually be revealed for what they are" way.
