Intergalactic Summit

That sarcasm, Andreus, is kind of....Civire, don't you think?

I'm not even sure we get faster information acquisition; baseliner news and scientific authorities were likely abuzz at the same time we were. It's just that we don't have reliable access to the majority of baseliner media, and thus to the readily available professional assessments. Instead, we have an echo chamber of essentially amateur assessment on scientific matters.

I've got to agree with Anslo on this subject, although probably for different reasons. There are people out there in the black - myself included, thank you very much - who are busting our behinds trying to demystify the bizarre phenomena that have been plaguing our cluster as of late. What has CONCORD been doing during this time? Jack nothing. If we waited for CONCORD's go-ahead for everything none of us would even know what the other side of the wormholes looks like, because that "unenforceable travel ban" (read: "piece of do-nothing legislature we wrote so future generations couldn't say we literally did nothing") they placed on wormholes is still in effect.

If CONCORD wants to give me a science team, a mandate and an official mission objective? I guarantee you I would not hesitate to throw every single ISK, asset and starship I own at such an endeavour. Until then, if CONCORD are the "professionals," long live the goddamn amateurs.

We can run in circles, take lots of pictures, catalogue, chart. These things we can do, and we're rather good at them. Kraid-haan and I are currently working on this, as are a lot of others. Before the month is out, I expect various capsuleer organizations will have scoured the newly-opened wormhole systems, and we'll have a comprehensive collection of puzzle-pieces.

Doing this work is necessary, important, and advances our knowledge. However, it advances it incrementally. If we're lucky, this incremental advance of knowledge will allow us to understand what's happened.

The speculation we see on the Galactic Summit is not scientific. Part of it is simply the lack of data. Part of it is ego, causing pilots to try to find some new, bold theory or activity to advance so that their name is in lights. Part of it is sometimes plain, old-fashioned ****-waving, the desire to best someone else in public. Most of it is that the speculation we see on the Summit-- it's a scatter-shot of theory with no means of testing or verification.

Bringing this back to the topic at hand, CONCORD has released a report. As we all figured, they aren't saying much we haven't already figured out. Capsuleers had already identified the location of the blast, an incremental advancement of knowledge based on charting and making determinations based on the information gleaned. We have already noticed that the blast is superluminal in nature, from the same charting. CONCORD supports the theory that the blast and the contemporaneous appearance of new wormhole systems is linked. Correlation is not causation, but there is certainly some correlation.

CONCORD's confirmation is useful. Anything beyond that is conjecture, speculation-- sometimes wild speculation. Until we have more data, we have no confirmation. The useful thing to do, the thing that advances our understanding of the cluster?

Get out there in a ship and probe, chart, catalogue.

An optimal pathway that supports coalescence of viable superluminal conduits for both energy and matter is obviously a coordinate-specific weakness (or fold) in the space-time continuum that can support the formation of paired singularities, thus allowing faster than light transit across a region of space.

Didn't they teach you science at school?

No. Much like they didn't seem to teach you how to undock. I could use medical jargon to insinuate you're promiscuity in a round about way much like you instead of giving a straight forward answer. Luckily I'm not a pax bashin ****.

I have that effect.

Here you go again.

"If some baseliner authority hasn't said it, it doesn't mean anything, and you're all crap."

If you haven't got something useful to add to the discussion, then shut the **** up.

FAKEEDIT: I'm not even really involved in all this research and supposition, but it makes for more interesting reading than why "the Federation must be destroyed!" And you're shitting it up.

I'm also not surprised at having to repost this in a more "proper" format.

MY SIDES

**** your logic we reject your reality and substitute our own.
