  1. It allows warp drive mods...and if I can make a 160 km space station with Kopernicus, a 2 km space station should be fine. You'd have to do some fancy math to get the heightmap into the geometric shape of an Elite station, but I see no reason why this would be impossible. Of course Kopernicus will not allow the interior of the station to be simulated. For that you would need to make it a giant part.
  2. I'm sure there's still plenty of bureaucracy you need to trudge through to do it, though.
  3. You can play any song from Undertale except for Megalovania on an instrument and nobody will recognize it. (I have empirical evidence from multiple scientific experiments that this is true btw).
  4. It was too hot and you let it sit for 500 million years to cool down. Water! My soup is dry!
  5. Is that a tilted ecliptic...in Minecraft? Looks great! The sun should be a cube with a rotational period similar to Sol's.
  6. Granted, but you turn into a Penrose triangle. I wish Star Chart would tell me history facts in the morning instead of when I'm about to go to bed.
  7. Wait a minute...it's called the Mad Piano? And it's impossible to defeat...that's interesting.
  8. No. We won't rule the world. We'll tame the space between them.
  9. We're in the Future. It's been that way since CRS-8.
  10. Today got abnormally warm (10°C when the average for this date is -2) and clear so I used the opportunity to take the telescope out and look at Venus, Mars, and Castor, and watch a few satellite flares. Mars will be right next to Uranus on the 26th, I hope I can catch that.
  11. ^ If the annoying dog didn't keep him in check
  12. Worrying about how a tesseract "really" behaves is also irrelevant precisely because it isn't something we can observe. If you want to try to construct a different model for a fourth dimension, you are free to do so although what mathematicians have come up with over the last two hundred years is pretty consistent. It does make for some pretty great thought experiments, though!
  13. Even if we can't prove the physical existence of a fourth dimension to actually observe, we can theorize the properties of hypothetical four-dimensional objects just as we can theorize the properties of two and three dimensional objects, and create models of them. It doesn't have to be something you can touch to be interesting to mathematicians, and these warping wireframes are as close to being able to perceive it as we can get at this point. A cube drawn on a computer isn't real either, but it can have all the properties of a real cube, so one should be able to have a tesseract in a simulated space with four axes.
  14. But I looked at the actual Moon the next morning and it was in the same phase I had dreamt it. So I had decided on the phase that I knew the Moon was actually in.
  15. It's not cheating in my book, I encourage you to.
