Nothing to raise a F.U.S.S. about, is it? Cool

In physical terms, the model describes the universe as being filled with a quantum fluid. The scientists propose that this fluid might be composed of gravitons—hypothetical massless particles that mediate the force of gravity. If they exist, gravitons are thought to play a key role in a theory of quantum gravity.


..Meaning that our Fluid Universe Space Submarine game might actually be (somewhat)right with physics! Big smile

What else did CCP get (somewhat)right eventhough the rest of the world and/or common sense thinks its wrong? Are doors not supposed to open? Can we shoot through solid matter with a missile? Is there actually a universal horizontal that all spaceships will orient themselves to?!?!?! Can we bump something at 800m/s and sustain no damage whatsoever? IS THERE EVEN A BACO..errr ..SPOON?!?!?!1!?!1!



Centuries from now, scientists will marvel about how much of this game turned out to be true.

And why not?

Almost every trope in Eve is taken from science fiction and science fiction is derived from science. (Can I get a big "duh" here? )

Take the clones for example. They ARE actually taking hearts and "bleaching" the DNA out of them, leaving a structure that can be filled with someone else's DNA. Might be a century before we see them do that to an entire body.

But think about this: the jet engine existed in concept almost a century before they were built. It merely took time for the metallurgy to catch up (and even those first engines, like in the ME-262, would spontaneously blow up) . So we already have the concept of cloning, eventually the technology to facilitate it will catch up.




creating a biomaterial duplicate, we can already pretty much do. The conciousness transfer ... I'm not sure we have anywhere near even theory on it yet? Do we?


Nope, we hardly understand how memory works let alone being able to read it or transfer it. And that's with specific memories. Things like muscle memory are even less understood.

A massless quantum fluid would obviously not slow down our ships and create a maximum top speed like Eve's space-gravy does. It's the mass of the medium that does the slowing down, requiring energy to move out of the way.


It is the drag from the warp drive, which is always on, even though it is not "active". :P

OMG. All this sounds so neat. Where do we fit in the

GRAVITY?


Oops. The elephant in the room. The fly in that ointment.
It's okay. We'll speculate on the model while pretending it isn't THERE!

Good gawd y'all. HA!

And yes, there is, and ever will be, BACON!


But.. have you ever seen BACON in the Eve universe? This universe is completely devoid of bacon, which to me is completely immersion breaking. I am sure that even on alien worlds in RL, there is some form of space bacon. To think that Earth is the only planet in the entirety of the universe that has bacon.. frankly that is scary. What if aliens learn of this? Do we really need a mass invasion of Earth by 40000 aliens species over the rarest commodity in existence? Humankind wiped out over bacon... No thank you.

I will admit that your Theory of Eve Online Space Gravy does intrigue me more than the Standard Eve Fluid Universe Model does. Perhaps the new ship models that have 'Warp Ram jets' actually use Space Gravy Compressors as propulsion system components. I guess we will need to wait until the CCP Falcon promised 'Eve Online Spaceship Engineering' book is released to get our answers on that one. But the Theory of Eve Online Space Gravy does raise another question.. does there exist somewhere in the universe an equal amount of Galactic Mashed Potatoes? Perhaps the Eve Online Universe star cluster actually floats in the Space Gravy nestled in a well in the center of a heaping scoop of delicious Galactic Mashed Potatoes! The Galactic Mashed Potatoes are what is blocking our ability to pinpoint our location in relation to the Milky Way!

My mind has been blown War Kitten, or at the very least.. expanded.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
