Riddles

[Ethanadams]

Web cam?

[cantab]

Not a barometer, thermometer, or gravioli detector Nor a web cam.

[B787_300]

a light bulb?

[TheMoonRover]

DVD/Blu-ray/CD/Audio tape/VHS/Vinyl, or a device which plays one or more of those, or a remote for such a device?

A computer capable of running KSP?

A game console and/or its controller?

[DMSP]

The brain?

[StrandedonEarth]

A TV series/program/sitcom?

[Xannari Ferrows]

A thought? A bad sector? This is killing me.

Nobody yet. Newpage repost

Stores of knowledge no-one may see

Abutting spacetimes; energy

Is needed yet to make them real

As the strings the present must feel.

That present may elude our grasp

When what's to come we spy in glass.

Week foll'wing week, day after day,

A year or more to maybe stay.

I've not tried to make this easy

But I do hope it is not cheesy.

Hint 1: You can find one in the solar system.

Hint 2: You can find one on Earth.

Hint 3: You can almost surely find one in your town.

Hint 4: I expect you can find one in your home

Dark matter, or quarks.

[Bill Phil]

A brand name?

[TheMoonRover]

17 pages?!

Does that deserve another hint?

(And please not something like "There could be one inside you")

A puppet? Teddy bear? Or some other form of child's toy?

It's been 10 days. I propose we give up on this one and move along.

Sorry,

-Slashy

[cantab]

That long? Dang.

Well, I guess I'll give a triple bill of hints to help you along.

Hint 5: The "theme" of the riddle, around physics and cosmology, is a complete misdirection. The solution has nothing to do with that. It follows that "spacetimes" should not be read entirely literally.

Hint 6: StrandedonEarth came pretty close to the solution early on.

Hint 7: As TheMoonRover surmised, the "glass" in the sixth line refers to a shop window.

[Bill Phil]

TVs in windows?

Yeah...

I'm thinkin' a proper riddle shouldn't contain "clues" that are misdirection, particularly when said "clues" are the theme of the riddle.

I move that we axe this one and let someone else have a go.

Best,

[Slam_Jones]

Is it LEGOs? Or another building-style toy?

[StrandedonEarth]

"Coming Soon..." ads?

[cantab]

None.

To save trouble, it's not any kind of computer part or peripheral.

[Xannari Ferrows]

5 News?

[Ethanadams]

A tv glass window on the old ones or a window in general?
