No because we don't have pointless adverts for feminine hygiene products that every girl everyone already knows they need and where to get them without being reminded.

If nothing else give us that.

Quote:

The blasphemous capsuleer alleged that God took the form of "A four-dimensional pyramid with a single all-seeing eye", and that this entity spoke to them, urging them to spread a message to all the worlds of the cluster.

The alleged pyramid then hurled the capsuleers ship into Kor-Azor Prime solar system, without the use of stargates.

A Theology council agent required medical attention for near-asphyxiation, having almost laughed to death, when asked to comment on this sequence of events.


Actually, there are a number of unanswered questions here.

Firstly, I'm somewhat curious to know what the message was, that the pyramid wanted the capsuleer to spread ?

Secondly, just how common is it, for TC agents to find such blasphemy so amusing ?

Thirdly, was the eye on the pyramid on one of the faces? Or was it perched on the apex ?

Not to pick too many nits but I believe you mean that we only readily perceive three spatial dimensions (as well as one temporal) but our Universe can be mathematically understood as having eleven dimensions.

Stop right there. My sanity will snap if I have to actively attempt to comprehend more then 4 dimensions.Sad

a Four Dimensional Pyramid may refer to an Object which is also called a Pentachoron, or Tetrahedral Hyperpyramid.

Attempting to Visualise such Objects may cause Headaches and/or Temporary Insanity among human People.

I am Sceptical that God would take such a Form, when interacting with human People, instead a more relatable Figure such as some form of Humanoid Shape.

This Assumes God would interact Personally, and not through Messengers such as Sefrim.

Gutter Press questioned several Amarrians. You're never going to see that on ACN. It's pretty sad that a tabloid is more balanced than a larger news network.

Somehow, I doubt you can imagine even 3 dimensions.


The fact that the Sebiestor designed a formidable fleet whilst only perceiving two dimensions would be an accomplishment worth celebrating, one would think.

I think it was "Minmatar" designed fleet, rather than "Sebiestor". Besides, Rella is rather... unique. If Rella's clones would design a rowboat, it would sink after sailing about two meters. Probably with making a lot of offensive noises (in minmatar language) while drowning.

'Bella, the fourth dimension is time. If the damn thing didn't exist, exists for a non-zero and finite amount of time, and then ceases to exist then it exists in the fourth dimension.

The time, of course, can be viewed as fourth dimension, and will help visualizing it.
The problem with time, is that when we imagine it, we think first about evolution and causality, that makes our Universe to not fall apart into pieces. Imagining a pyramid in a 4D space using time would be rather absurd.
First, because pyramid is a 3D object, not a 4D. And it can be rather a projection of another object into 4D space, so, thus, Rella's idea is rather idiotic from the start. Another question would be "hyperpyramid".
And second, because projection of its base (whatever it is depending on type of pyramid) will appear from nowhere, and then collapses into a dot (well, again, moving along its altitude from base to apex is easiest way to imagine).

To make its imagination in other positions and without using time, just take into consideration, that our sight is two-dimensional. We see two-dimensional projections of the world and imagine its three-dimensional form by means of stereovision and focusing. To imagine 4D object, just imagine 3D objects as its projections.

'Sebiestor-designed fleet' is much more accurate. Boundless Creation, one of our major shipbuilding corporation, may have stakeholders from four tribes, but the team that produced anything is the Sebiestor team. Core Complexion, our other producer of ships, had the design work done by Sebiestor. Thukker Mix entered much later so we don't have all that many ships from their production lines in the Republic Fleet.

Hell, all the guns we keep putting into Brutor hands are predominantly Sebiestor-designed too. Have to admit though, it's the Brutors that keep coming up with new and creative ways to maim and maul someone with the tools we design and put into their hands.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

There's a reason I hire Sebiestor engineers and researchers over any others. It's also why I practically salivate over the idea of Boundless Creation, Core Complexion and State Megas working together on ship, weapon and consumer products. New Eden wouldn't be recognizable after a while.
